Hurry to My Help, Lord

Urgent mountain gospel with early rock-and-roll lift, 128 BPM, 2/4, E, Bubba unmistakably MALE direct country baritone; Darlene unmistakably FEMALE strong gospel alto with a distinct solo verse, Acoustic flatpicking, bluegrass banjo, slap upright bass, compact backbeat, boogie piano and blues harmonica, Recovered Holler Heartbeat E7-G6-A7-B7, call E-G-A-B / B-A-G-E, Short urgent verse phrases and broad singable duet chorus, Piano-harmonica solo stays brief; stop-time bridge, then full-band chorus, Joy belongs to seeking God, not to mocking suffering

[Intro - Fast acoustic pickup; piano answers] [Verse 1 - Bubba, male solo] I am poor and I am needy, There are hands that seek my fall; Turn their plotting back upon them, God, be quick to hear my call. Let the ones who laugh in triumph At my hurt be turned away; You are all the help I'm asking, Do not linger, Lord, today. [Chorus - Duet] Hurry to my help, Lord, Come and hear my cry; You are my Deliverer, Do not pass me by. Let the ones who seek You Find their joy in You; Let Your greatness fill our singing, Help me, Lord, come through. [Verse 2 - Darlene, female solo] Let the ones who love salvation Lift Your greatness all day long; In the middle of their seeking, Let Your gladness be their song. Those who point and shout against me, Let their boasting come to shame; I have no deliverance elsewhere, So I call upon Your name. [Instrumental Break - Boogie piano; blues harmonica] [Bridge - Stop-time duet] [Bubba] Poor and needy, [Darlene] Still I pray. [Bubba] My Deliverer, [Darlene] Do not delay. [Final Chorus - Duet and harmonies] Hurry to my help, Lord, Come and hear my cry; You are my Deliverer, Do not pass me by. Let the ones who seek You Find their joy in You; Let Your greatness fill our singing, Help me, Lord, come through. [Outro - Duet] You, my help and my Deliverer; Lord, be quick to hear my prayer.
