"Help Me Understand" lyrics

Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
Heavenly father, help me understand
Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
Heavenly father, help me understand

Friends, I'd like to tell a story of a family I once knew
We'll call them William and Mary and their little daughter Sue
Now Mary was just the average housewife
And Bill was just a usual dad
And they had their little family arguments
But neither one ever got mad
Then one day something happened
It was nothing of course
But one word lead to another
And the last word lead to divorce
Now here's two grown up people
Who failed to use common sense
They strengthen their own selfish pride
At little Sue's expense
You know she didn't ask to be brought to this world
To drift from pillar to post
But a divorce never stops to consider
The ones that its hurting the most
There'd be a lot more honest lovin'
In this cruel world today
If just a few hundred parents
Could hear little Sue say
Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
Heavenly father, help me understand

Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
Heavenly father, help me understand
Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
Heavenly father, help me understand
