"You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone"
So Tough    /    Brian Wilson/Jack Rieley

The realization we need the help of others is the first step of maturity. The confession of that need is the first step in a spiritual journey to God...


I need a breeze blowing softly
To keep my wind vane from standing
I need a whole lot of sunshine
To keep my sundial advancing
I need some soil 'fore my grass will grow
I need some spark to make my candle glow

Relief I cried
Ain't no shuck 'n' jive
I need a mess of help to stand alone

Jesus taught them “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  Matthew 5:2-3

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God you will not despise.  Pslams 51:17

Thre is not a righteous person on earth who does what is right and never sins.  Ecclesiastes 7:20

...For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,  Romans 3:23

I need a spark by a fire
To stop the cold of my winter
I need a burst of your raindrops
To keep a flow in my river
I need a call for my phone will ring
I need your song for my voice will sing

Please realize
I'm not half alive
Without a mess of help to stand alone

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!  Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?  Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.  Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

* (She don't know me)
(She don't know it)
(She don't know)
(She don't know me)
(She don't know it)
(She don't know)
(She don't know me)
(She don't know it) (repeat)


I need the warmth of your smile
To heat my frostbitten sorrow
I need your hand on my shoulder
To lead todays to tomorrows
I need your strength to lock me to the track
I need your trust to bust the things I lack

Belief I cried
Ain't no shuck  'n' jive
I need a mess of help to stand alone

I lift up my eyes to the hills — where does my help come from?  My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.  Psalms 121:1-2

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  Psalms 46:1

Help me, O LORD my God; save me in accordance with your love.  Psalms 109:26

A woman came and knelt before him.  “Lord, help me!” she said ... Jesus answered,  “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.  Matthew 15:25-28

My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:19
