In life there are challenges and burdens
to bear that are too much for you to
handle by yourself.
And you turn to others for a helping hand
but they are unwilling or unable to help.
You cannot count on them.

Chorus

You can count on the Lord.
He's never too far away or too busy 
to help you.
He's always willing and able to help you.
You can count on the Lord.

 (Sing after last stanza and the chorus)
Oh, you can count on the Lord.
Yes, yes, You can count on the Lord.

Let me tell you how I know that you can
count on  the Lord to help you when you
need a helping hand.
I have needed Him to do for me what no one
else could do and he always, always helped me. 
I counted on the Lord.
