VERSE 1:
And so, it was said,
The unfathomable powers of our unseen Universe,
won't help you,
‘Till YOU have done everything in YOUR OWN POWER,
to help yourself, (to help yourself)
to do your best, (to do your best)
They only help when we can do no more.
(They only help when we can do no more)
VERSE 2:
Let the spark of the Universe
that dwells in your soul, ignite, (ignite)
so that IT may manifest and
make use of your own feet, and legs,
and arms and hands.
(Use your own feet, legs, arms and hands)
VERSE 3:
Strength and courage will not come
if you practice being idle, (stop being idle)
idle of mind and body, (stop being idle)
or wait for another body
to carry your own load. (stop being idle)
VERSE 4:
When you strive through your own mud,
and do your work, (do your work)
the UNIVERSE SEES THIS,
and then the HOLY ONE
breathes deep and blows into your spark,
making that spark brighter,
filling you with the strength and wisdom to carry on
and succeed with your work.
(The Universe sees and the Holy One breathes deep)
VERSE 5:
When you think
you start to falter,
others come to help.
God will only help those
who strive for themselves first.
(Help me)
VERSE 6:
The most efficient prayer
that we can offer to God
is to help those in need of help.
What you do for others,
the Holy One will do for you.
(What you do for others, the Holy One will do for you)
VERSE 7:
The Universe, The Holy One,
does not see your social media posts
about you allegedly helping others. (no, no, no)
IT sees what’s in your heart
and soul and mind.
(IT sees what’s inside your heart and soul and mind)
You cannot buy God's help.
(No, you can’t)
You cannot buy God's help.
(IT sees what’s inside your heart and soul and mind)
You cannot buy God's help.
OUTRO:
And so, it was said
And so, it was said
And so, it was said
And so, it was said
