GOD, I'M ALONE — PLEASE HELP ME
ARTIST: REX OMONIGHO
STYLE: Deeply emotional Christian hymn of lament, prayer, repentance, and hope.
DURATION: Approximately 3 minutes
TEMPO: 60 BPM
VOCALS: Deep, mature African male bass lead, almost crying, with an adult gospel choir.
MUSIC DIRECTION
Begin immediately with soft, emotional piano, a crying solo violin, and deep humming: “Huuuuuuummmmmmmm.”
The male bass vocalist should sound vulnerable, heartbroken, trembling, and deeply sincere, as if praying alone before God. Use soft atmospheric strings and subtle deep bass guitar. Let the adult gospel choir enter gradually with solemn call-and-response.
No children’s choir. No dance beat. No heavy drums. No upbeat rhythm. No long instrumental introduction.
Build slowly into a powerful, tearful chorus and a dramatic prayerful bridge. Emphasize these words with emotional pauses:
“My heart is bleeding.”
“Speak to me, Lord.”
“I don't want to be alone.”
The final chorus must express repentance, surrender, hope, and salvation through Jesus Christ. End with the fading bass voice whispering, “Jesus, hold me close,” followed by the choir softly singing, “Amen.”
Preserve the lyrics below. Keep the complete song close to three minutes.
LYRICS
Huuuuuuummmmmmmm…
Mmmmmmm… Lord…
Jesus… Jesus…
God, I'm alone, please help me, Lord,
I don't want to be alone.
My heart is bleeding, my heart is bleeding,
Lord, I'm calling out Your name.
Sometimes I cry, but tears don't fall,
My pain is hidden deep inside.
I look into the mirror, Lord,
But all my tears are trapped inside.
God, I'm alone, please help me!
I don't want to be alone!
My heart is bleeding, my heart is bleeding!
Jesus, please come take me home.
When my body shakes with sorrow,
When my soul can bear no more,
Hold me, Lord, and never leave me,
Let me feel Your love once more.
The storm comes in the morning,
The storm comes in the night.
The storm comes in the evening,
Lord, when will I see the light?
Speak to me as You spoke to Moses,
Speak to me as You spoke to Elijah.
Show me, Lord, the things I'm doing wrong,
Take away what keeps me far from You.
I have no power of my own, Lord,
I cannot make it on my own.
This world is full of sin and sorrow,
Jesus, keep my heart Your home.
LEAD: Lord, have mercy on my soul!
CHOIR: Lord, have mercy, hear our cry!
LEAD: Wash my sins and make me holy!
CHOIR: Jesus, save us, do not pass us by!
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,
Even through the valley, I will trust.
Though my heart is broken, You are near,
Jesus, take away my fear.
God, I'm alone, please help me!
Let Your love become my home.
I surrender all my life to Jesus,
Lord, I never want to walk alone.
LEAD, ALMOST WHISPERING:
Jesus… hold me close…
Never leave me, Lord…
CHOIR, SOFTLY:
Amen… Amen…
Huuuuuuummmmmmmm…
