Your Name Is Help Enough

Brisk old-time mountain-gospel rescue song, 118 BPM, 2/4, D major, Bubba: unmistakably male direct country lead; Darlene: unmistakably female strong gospel responses and bridge lead, Flatpicked acoustic guitar, bluegrass banjo, fiddle, upright slap bass, snare brushes and tambourine, Original D-Bm-G-A verse and D-G-D/F#-Em-A-D refrain; short rising banjo pickup, Start guitar and bass, add fiddle at first chorus, gospel piano at verse two, Banjo-fiddle solo with clean acoustic space, Final chorus includes small congregational harmony and a confident unison last line

[Intro - Flatpicked guitar and upright bass] [Verse 1 - Bubba, male] Hear the prayer I bring before You, Listen to these trembling words; Strangers rise with harm against me, They have set aside the Lord. By Your name, O God, deliver, By Your strength defend my life; You can hear me through the shouting, You can judge this wrong aright. [Chorus - Bubba and Darlene] Your name is help enough, Your strength can hold me up. You sustain the life within me When the road is hard and rough. Let Your faithfulness defend me, Bring the evil plans to dust; Your name is help enough, You are worthy of my trust. [Verse 2 - Darlene, female] There is One who stands to help me, One who keeps my soul alive; Not the strength of those against me Has the final word tonight. Let their evil turn against them, Bring their falsehood to an end; I will freely bring my offering, Praise Your goodness once again. [Instrumental Break - Bluegrass banjo and fiddle] [Bridge - Darlene, female] You have brought me through the trouble, I have seen their power fail. Let my thanks rise without bargaining; Let Your faithful truth prevail. [Final Chorus - Duet and congregation] Your name is help enough, Your strength can hold me up. You sustain the life within me When the road is hard and rough. Let Your faithfulness defend me, Bring the evil plans to dust; Your name is help enough, You are worthy of my trust. [Outro - Both] Freely now my thanks I bring; You have helped me, so I sing.
