If I Can Help Songtext
von Cory Henry

If I can help somebody as I pass, pass along
If I can cheer somebody with a word, word or song
If I can show somebody that they′re traveling wrong
Then my living shall not be in vain

If I can do, do my duty, Lord, as a good man, as a good man, Lord
If I can show, show love's beauty to a world, that′s destructive
If I can share, share love's message like the Master has taught, oh (ooh)
(Then my living), then my living
(Shall not be in vain), will not be in vain, oh
Then my living shall not be in vain (be in vain)
(Vain, vain, vain), oh
(My living), my living (shall not), shall not be in vain, oh

If I can help somebody as I travel, as I travel along (ooh)
Then my living shall not be in vain (ay)
