The poem expresses a desire to grow closer to God and seek His kingdom above all else. It asks God for help to see the world through His eyes of creation, have faith in His hope despite uncertainty, shine His light in darkness, fully give one's life to Him, and follow where He leads so others may know Him. The poem closes with repeated phrases of praise to God.

1. God Help Me to Be

2. God, help me to be
Closer to You Lord so I am farther
from me
And may Your kingdom be the only
one that I seek, oh God

3. And God, help me to see
That everything was good when
You created all things
Now let me see with those same
eyes that created me, oh God

4. God, help me believe
When everything around me
points to uncertainty
Remind me of the hope of You
that's living in me, oh God

5. And God, help me to shine
Like stars up in the universe that's
Yours and not mine
And fill me with Your light so that
the darkness will hide, oh God

6. Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Amen

7. God, help me to give
Everything to You that I'm
unable to give
And make my life the life I've
been created to live, oh God

8. And God, help me to go
And follow where You lead me so
all nations will know
The Lamb of God who takes
away the sins of this world
Oh God, my God

9. Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Amen

10. Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Amen
