Lyrics
A women in the bible days, her last meal almost gone,
God sent Elijah, to make his word know,
He said women don't you worry, for god sent me today,
And before you even ask me, help is on the way
Just hold on a little longer, help is on the way,
A brighter day is coming, for those who believe and pray,
Help wont help tomorrow, if you give up today,
Just hold on a little longer, help is on the way.
Troubles of this life come by, and burdens get you down,
You think no one is listen, you think no one's around,
Just remember what his word said, trust him and obey,
Keep you eyes towards the heavens, cause help is on the way.
Help wont help tomorrow; if you give up today,
Just hold on a little longer, help is on the way

Meaning & Inspiration
Help Is On the Way presents endurance as an act of faith when resources are low and discouragement feels immediate. Its opening recalls the widow who shared her final meal with Elijah, connecting present trouble with a biblical account of provision. The recurring call to hold on does not deny hardship; it places perseverance beside prayer, trust, and obedience.
The song then moves from that remembered story to ordinary burdens, loneliness, and the temptation to give up. Images of eyes turned toward heaven reinforce its confidence that God hears and remains near. The repeated promise of help gives the piece a pastoral quality, while the warning against surrendering today keeps its hope active rather than passive. Its message is simple and consistent: distress can be faced with patient trust because divine help may arrive before circumstances appear to change.
