I saw Larry Gatlin sing this in the 1970s and never forgot it. I thought it was one of the most beautiful songs and voices I had ever heard, and I still do.

This just brought me back to the house when I was a kid. Mom was singing in front of the sink, washing dishs, Larry Gatlin playing on the record player. Happy tears. Today was the day Mom passed over to be with Our Lord and my Dad.

Saw Gatlins in TX after i got some bad health news. If anyone needed God's help, it was me that night. Elvis recorded this song too, but you can feel Larry's hurt/prayer/victory in every 🎶 as the writer. God can help any of us in need.

Amen to that. We were at Grand Ole Opry in May 2009 when he hosted the show. He is a natural showman with the crowd, gently making fun of everything and everybody (and himself!) while the whole place laughed endlessly. His kind nature and tremendous talent are obvious. He still sings like nobody else, and moves people when he does. Thanks, Larry Wayne for continuing to sing to God's glory.

God is good. I happened upon this song when I was going through a trial. I really needed to hear this

One of the great voices of all time. Name one cookie-cutter twanger on the country charts today who can sing even half as good at this guy. Larry Gatlin has been the most underrated talent in country music for years.

beautiful song,we all need help from God everyday...

I woke up this morning with this song in my head … I am sitting here with a broken elbow and cast and a broken foot and cast ….. this song is my prayer this morning!!!

I was in this service. Mr. Gatlin came to help promote the fact that he would return two months later to sing the tenor parts of Handel's Messiah. This song blessed us greatly, and we've loved Larry Gatlin since. (Nice to see the old interior of our worship center.)

Beautiful....I think Larry sounds just as good as he did years ago.....maybe better. Thank god for giving him strength to help him through his hard times. I have prayed for him time and time again.......

Love this song, I think we have all been at the point were we all need help daily, thank you Larry for writing this I know it was inspired from God

I so needed to hear this.

Larry is outstanding. Always like him & his brothers gospel music. Larry's voice is unmatched. What great talent ♪ ☆☆☆☆☆ ♬

This song helped me while I was recovering from a nervous breakdown...everytime I hear it, I'm reminded of how small we are and how truly blessed we are to have a link to the highest. God Bless you....

9:45a.m. (ct) Tue. June 14, 2022. I seen this song by Larry Gatlin on pg. 195 as I am reading Johnny Cash "The Redemption of an American Icon". Blessings to all God's people. Amen.

Hello, how are you doing today ...?😊

The great voice and songwriting talent of LARRY WAYNE GATLIN seems all but forgotten by most people today, but there's not a country singer on the charts right now who comes close to this guy. I saw Larry and the Brothers in concert in 2006 and they sounded as great as they did 20years ago.

I saw Larry Gatlin and his brothers back in the early 70’s. In fact about 3 times. What an incredible talent. Flawless harmony. Thank you Larry Rudy and Steve for many beautiful songs through the years.

Beautiful...his sister used to sing back up with Dallas HOlmes,,,another wonderful singer...

The Voice of an angel.

About 6 weeks ago, I wrote comment concerning this song. I felt like the angels were singing to me. I just did not want to go on any more. I needed help, but I just did not know where to go. I had not been sick , but l was sad, and knew I needed some help. 3 weeks ago I ended up in the hospital in liver failure and kidney failure. I was sad, but I did not want to commit suicide. My organs were shutting down. TOO MUCH Tylenol. No more tylenol for me! I believe in angels now. One was sitting on m

You know how some times you want to pray to God and let him know exactly how your feel but when you get on your knees there are just no words to tell him exactly how I feel, if there was rock bottom God that's were I am so Lord humbly I come Lord I am begging you please to help me.

Can a human really write lyrics this brilliant? Wow

Lord, Help me walk Another mile, just one more mile, I'm tired of walkin' all alone. Lord, Help me smile Another smile, just one more smile, I know I just can't make it on my own. I never thought I needed help before, I thought that I could do things by myself. Now I know I just can't take it any more. With a humble heart, on bended knee, I'm beggin' You, please, Help Me. Come down from Your golden Throne to me, to lowly me, I need to feel the touch of Your tender hand. Remove the chains of darkness And let me see, Lord let me see, Just where I fit into your master plan. I never thought I needed help before, I thought that I could do things by myself. Now I know I just can't take it any more. With a humble heart, on bended knee, I'm beggin' You, please, Help Me.

Great song, let's pray for an illing America, with him we won't fail

God bless you brother. He never leaves you and will never forsake you. .lean on him . He is all you need. .New Zealand.

This song ties in so greatly with, "I Can't Even Walk Without You Holding My Hand." They both just grip my heart. Simple songs with such a powerful message.

I love this song. It has so much meaning to me. Listening to it in an old Cadillac, on a Kristofferson 8 track riding with my grandmother....I KNOW she's with Jesus now. This song is SO special...especially when things hurt and life is seemingly falling apart....listen to it, sing it to HIM, HE will listen. :-)

Singing at First Baptist Church Phoenix, AZ. Glen Campbell's home church at one time!

This is such a beautiful song....

Hi Lya how are you doing today

Larry was singing a special song in a church service. He didn’t know that June Carter Cash was in a pew attending church services. June was so impressed that she went home and had Johnny Cash come back for the evening service. Johnny liked what he heard, and started connecting Larry to some people in the music industry. This song that was written by Kris Kristofferson and Larry’s voice did the singing in the new movie that Johnny Cash wrote and June Carter produced, called The Gospel Road, 1973. I was blessed to see Larry live at DeAnza college in Cupertino California, as he opened a Johnny Cash concert back in the mid to late eighties.

This one got him started. Elvis recorded it and Larry was on his way.

sometimes you see negative posts on a song,, but just look at all these. They are beautiful. What a wonderful testimony.

What a beautiful prayer

Amen and God be with You Larry

Larry gatilan help.god we all need.you help me lord

I used to play guitar and sing a lot. Back in the day I had most of the Gatln Brothers down by heart. This one in particular helped me through so very much. I pray you are well and will recover. Miracles are real, don't ever doubt that. I sit here today with a broken heart, and feel like there have been just too many broken hearts in my life..I am praying for a miracle and healing for my children and grandchildren. Thank you for your wonderful testimony.

This is one of my all time favorites....Elvis did this song justice.I really like both.I'm glad that Larry asked Elvis to sing it....RiflemanRay

Elvis does a Great Job on this song. as he does on all Gospel songs... He was a Gospel Singer that sung Rock and Roll songs, too. He won all his awards for Gospel Singing!

Beautiful and inspiring!

Elvis does a phenomenal job with Larry's song. It was one of his favorites and mine. I've done a cover for CBSEye a few years ago. Praise God. Peace people, Guy Kent, Jersey Guy

Kris Kristofferson said this song was the inspiration for his song "Why Me Lord"

this is my favorite because i felt like this once i think we all have

Larry did not write this song in rehab, although this song does seem prophetic. He wrote it before he was an addict in 1973 shortly after he arrived in Nashvlle. Help Me, is probably his most recorded song by outher artist, Elvis, Tammy Wynette, Ray Price, Kristofferson, to name a few that I can come up with. Larry did write quite a few songs parreling his drug use and finding love and forgiveness in his on heart after comming out of rehab.

Thanks for this Song by Larry Gatlin.I appreciate it

Goosebumps every time!!

You just don't know how that song has touched me. Thank you lord for giving this man the words and voice I feel

He has us in His hands.

i am not a religious person, but i love larrys' sincerity...and though i don't pray, i offer him and his my best intentions.

Praise God. What a beautiful song. It will be enjoyed by countless others to come.

I really love this!

My sister is so in love with Larry!

I really love this song.

Larry, you've written some great song, and I believe this one is truly inspired. You have captured the heart-cry of someone seeking Jesus while facing difficulties. I am 73 and taking bass (upright) lessons. "Help Me" is a perfect song for helping me learn to play "gospel blues". I would very much like to video myself playing bass with you singing this and with the Elvis version. I want to post on KZread and as "video response". (more to follow)

My favorite singer of all time.

Yes this is a great song, I first heard it when Gatlin did a guest appearance at a Kris Kristofferson concert in the 70's.

one of my faves of elvis so i researched who wrote it..

I wish God will help me now, please

Cilla, do you know Jesus as your Savior & Lord? If not, you need to by praying, admit to Him that you're a sinner, ask for His forgiveness & cleansing, & ask Him to come into your life as Lord. He will be there to be help. If you're already born again, he's already there to help. I've been living with Failed Back Syndrome & Peripheral Neuropathy (both painful conditions) for many years. The Lord has not chosen to heal me, but He's used me to witness to others & has given me the strength to get through each day. I don't know what you're dealing with, but I will pray for you!

Amen

The first time johnny ever heard the song was when June finally was able to drag Johnny to church to here this talented young singer songwriter, that was the first time that Johnny herd Larry and help me, Johnny had nothing to do with writing the music. Another note. Kristofferson was inspired when he herd Larry singing Help Me, and wrote Why Me, Rita sings back-up in the song and also Larry Gatlin whom if you listen to the single you can deffinently here Larry.

Yes, a gospel tour de force. On a technical note, it is a prime example of playing rhythm guitar " finger style". Thank you Larry.

His love of God comes right through when he sings this song!Mary Cleveland
