[Chorus]
Now the Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give
Then you don't get loving
Now the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do
Is going to come right back on you

[Verse 1]
We all make it out like we own this whole world
While the leaders of nations they're acting like big girls
With no thoughts for their god who provides us with all
But when death comes to claim them
Who will stand and who will fall?

[Chorus]
Now the Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give
Then you don't get loving
Yes the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do
Is going to come right back on you

[Verse 2]
We all move around with objectives in mind
To become rich or famous with our reputations signed
But the few that can reach to this coveted slot
Don't escape old age creeping through their bodies like a rot

[Chorus]
Now the Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give
Then you don't get loving
Yes the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do
Is going to come right back on you

Now the Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give
Then you don't get loving
And the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do
Is going to come right back on you

If George Harrison were merely remembered for his involvement in The Beatles, his legacy would be solidified as one of rock’s greatest names. Along with staging the world’s first benefit concert where major artists performed together for humanitarian relief, introducing pop culture to classical Indian music and gaining three #1 singles as a solo artist, he was also a film producer and an avid gardener.

In 1957, he met a young Paul McCartney on a bus they both took to school. McCartney then introduced him to John Lennon to audition for his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Lennon originally rejected Harrison as he thought he was too young to be the band, having just turned 15. Harrison eventually impressed Lennon with his guitar skills and was accepted as a member of the group.

During his time with The Beatles, Harrison was the lead guitarist, one of the singers, and contributed many songs such as “Taxman,” “Within You Without You,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something.”
