Den första juni är temat i kyrkans gudstjänst: Hjälparen kommer. I predikoförberedelserna läser och nynnar jag på Beatles sång Help. Insikten har i sången kommit fram till att hjälp behövs. Som talesättet går: "no man is an island". Att leva som självtillräcklig håller inte. Hjälp, support, stöd behövs och efterfrågas. Då funderar jag på om sångens text kan läsas som en bön om den Heliga Anden?
Beatles
intro
Help! I need somebody
Help! Not just anybody
Help! You know I need someone
Help!
verse
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody′s help in any way
But now these days are gone and I'm not so self assured
Now I find I′ve changed my mind, I've opened up the doors
chorus
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being ′round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won′t you please, please help me?
verse
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I've never done before
chorus
Help me if you can, I′m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won′t you please, please help me?

Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?….
