PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTES
I don't know the composer/s name/s for the song "Lord, I Want You To Help Me". Thus far, the earliest recording date that I've found for this song is 1964 (performed by Rev. Robert Wilkins. That version is featured in Part II of this series.) However, the rendition (also in Part II* of this pancocojams series) by the McIntosh County Shouters, a Georgia ring shout group, suggests that this song may have been sung much earlier than the 1960s. The McInTosh County SHouter's version of this song is included in an album that refers to the songs as "Spirituals and Shouts". My guess is that "shouts" may have been an early term for Gospel songs that were sung while doing ring shouts. I think that that "shout" version may have been the earliest way that this song was sung.
I'm presenting examples of accapella renditions of "Oh Lord, I Want You To Help Me" before examples with musical instrument accompaniment because I believe that was the order in which this song was sung.
If you have any information about this song, please share it in the comment section below. Thanks!
*The McInTosh County Shouter's sound file example of this song is presented in Part II of this series because it features tambourines and a stick that is rhythmically pounded on the ground. I don't know if those "musical instruments" accompanied the earliest renditions of this song or not. However, the accapella examples in this post focus on hand clapping and foot stomping accompaniments. That said, notice that the video of the North Mississippi Acapella Chorus [example # 2 below] also features two men "beat boxing".

Birago Diop - "Breaths" (poem) & Sweet Honey And The Rock's Song "Breaths"
Edited by Azizi Powell
This post showcases Senegalese poet Birago Diop's poem "Breaths". Information about Birago Diop is also included in this post. In addition, accapella performances of the song "Breaths" by Sweet Honey And The Rock and by two other accapella groups are also featured in this post.

Thanks to Birago Diop for composing this poem and thanks to Ysaye Maria Barnwell for composing the music for this song. Thanks also to all the featured vocal groups for their performances of this song, to all those quoted in this post, and to the publishers of these videos on YouTube.
****
INFORMATION ABOUT BIRAGO DIOP
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birago_Diop
"Birago Diop (11 December 1906 - 10 November 1989) was a Senegalese poet and story-teller, whose work restored the general interest in African folktales and promoted him into one of the most outstanding African francophone writers.[1] A renowned veterinarian, diplomat and leading voice of the Négritude literary movement,[2] Diop exemplified the "African renaissance man"...
Birago Diop died on November 29, 1992 in Dakar at the age of 83... His legacy includes the titles of novelist, diplomat, a founder of the Negritude movement and veterinarian. Even now, decades after his death, his stories and poems still remain - sharing his dreams and ideals, whispering the great tales of the African values and culture, never to be forgotten."
****
WORDS TO "BREATHS"
(Birago Diop)
Listen more often to things rather than beings.
Hear the fire's voice,
Hear the voice of water.
In the wind hear the sobbing of the trees,
It is our forefathers breathing.
The dead are not gone forever.
They are in the paling shadows,
And in the darkening shadows.
The dead are not beneath the ground,
They are in the rustling tree,
In the murmuring wood,
In the flowing water,
In the still water,
In the lonely place, in the crowd:
The dead are not dead.
Listen more often to things rather than beings.
Hear the fire's voice,
Hear the voice of water.
In the wind hear the sobbing of the trees.
It is the breathing of our forefathers,
Who are not gone, not beneath the ground,
Not dead.
The dead are not gone for ever.
They are in a woman's breast,
A child's crying, a glowing ember.
The dead are not beneath the earth,
They are in the flickering fire,
In the weeping plant, the groaning rock,
The wooded place, the home.
The dead are not dead.
Listen more often to things rather than beings.
Hear the fire's voice,
Hear the voice of water.
In the wind hear the sobbing of the trees.
It is the breathing of our forefathers.

Note from that blog: http://amesadeluz.blogspot.com/2008/04/breaths-by-birago-diop.html
"Senegalese poet and story-teller, who recorded traditional oral folktales of the Wolof people. Birago Diop's work helped to reestablish general interest in the African folktales published in European languages. Diop was also one of the most prominent African francophone writers." (daqui)
-snip-
The line "listen more often to things than to beings", and the Sweet Honey And The Rock song that was made from Diop's poem are often used by African American in African arts programs. I recall Pittsburgh, Pensylvania's Black Theatre Dance Ensembles' founder & lead dancer Bob Johnson chanting an adapted version of that line in a performance in the 1970s. That verse was:
"Listen more often to things than to beings.
Listen more often to things than to beings.
Thunder!
Lightning!
Rain!*
Thunder!
Lightning!
Rain!*
*elongate the word "rain"

A review of a 1992 Chicago Dance Africa program included these comments:
"Even the audience is called on to give back some of the energy it's been given... Early in the concert we're told to "listen more to things than to beings"--things like the wind in the trees, for instance, the voices of our ancestors..." http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/ago-ame/Content?oid=880594 "Ago!

INFORMATION ABOUT SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK
From http://sweethoneyintherock.org/
"Sweet Honey In The Rock® is a performance ensemble rooted in African American history and culture. The ensemble educates, entertains and empowers its audience and community through the dynamic vehicles of a cappella singing and American Sign Language interpretation for the Deaf and hearing impaired. Sweet Honey’s audience and community comes from diverse backgrounds and cultures throughout the United States and around the world, and includes people of all ages, economic/education/social backgrounds, political persuasions, religious affiliations, sexual preferences and differing abilities."
****
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Honey_in_the_Rock
"Sweet Honey in the Rock is an all-woman, African-American a cappella ensemble. They are an American Grammy Award–winning (and many times nominated) troupe who express their history as African-American women through song, dance, and sign language.[1] Originally a four-person ensemble, the group have expanded to five-part harmonies, with a sixth member acting as a sign-language interpreter. Although the members have changed over three decades, the group continues to sing and has helped to produce several children's records as well as those intended for adults.
Sweet Honey in the Rock was founded in 1973 by Bernice Johnson Reagon, who was teaching a vocal workshop with the Washington, D.C. Black Repertory Company.[1] Reagon retired from the group in 2004. The name of the group was derived from a song, based on Psalm 81:16, which tells of a land so rich that when rocks were cracked open, honey flowed from them. Johnson has said that this first song in which four women blended their voices was so powerful, that there was no question what the name of the group should be. The ensemble's most powerful messages are proclaimed through an enormous catalog of songs addressing the world's woes. They are currently occupied with immigration injustices, congressional greed and lack of compassion for hurting citizens, the environmental imbalance, racial issues and women's issues."...

LYRICS: NO MIRRORS IN MY NANA'S HOUSE
from CROSSINGS by Ysaye .M. Barnwell ©1992
There were no mirrors in my Nana's house,
no mirrors in my Nana's house.
There were no mirrors in my Na's house,
no mirrors in my Nana's house.
And the beauty that I saw in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun).
I never knew that my skin was too black.
I never knew that my nose was too flat.
I never knew that my clothes didn't fit.
I never knew there were things that I'd missed,
cause the beauty in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun);
...was in her eyes.
There were no mirrors in my Nana's house,
no mirrors in my Nana's house.
And the beauty that I saw in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun).
I was intrigued by the cracks in the walls.
I tasted, with joy, the dust that would fall.
The noise in the hallway was music to me.
The trash and the rubbish just cushioned my feet.
And the beauty in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun).
...was in her eyes.
There were no mirrors in my Nana's house,
no mirrors in my Nana's house.
And the beauty that I saw in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun).
The world outside was a magical place.
I only knew love.
I never knew hate,
and the beauty in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun).
...was in her eyes.
There were no mirrors in my Nana's house,
no mirrors in my Nana's house.
There were no mirrors in my Nana's house,
no mirrors in my Nana's house.
And the beauty that I saw in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun).
"Chil', look deep into my eyes."
"Chil', look deep into my eyes."
"Chil'..."

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Honey_in_the_Rock
"Sweet Honey in the Rock is an all-woman, African-American a cappella ensemble. They are an American Grammy Award–winning (and many times nominated) troupe who express their history as African-American women through song, dance, and sign language.[1] Originally a four-person ensemble, the group have expanded to five-part harmonies, with a sixth member acting as a sign-language interpreter. Although the members have changed over three decades, the group continues to sing and has helped to produce several children's records as well as those intended for adults.
Sweet Honey in the Rock was founded in 1973 by Bernice Johnson Reagon, who was teaching a vocal workshop with the Washington, D.C. Black Repertory Company.[1] Reagon retired from the group in 2004. The name of the group was derived from a song, based on Psalm 81:16, which tells of a land so rich that when rocks were cracked open, honey flowed from them. Johnson has said that this first song in which four women blended their voices was so powerful, that there was no question what the name of the group should be. The ensemble's most powerful messages are proclaimed through an enormous catalog of songs addressing the world's woes. They are currently occupied with immigration injustices, congressional greed and lack of compassion for hurting citizens, the environmental imbalance, racial issues and women's issues."...

LYRICS: NO MIRRORS IN MY NANA'S HOUSE
from CROSSINGS by Ysaye .M. Barnwell ©1992
There were no mirrors in my Nana's house,
no mirrors in my Nana's house.
There were no mirrors in my Na's house,
no mirrors in my Nana's house.
And the beauty that I saw in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun).
I never knew that my skin was too black.
I never knew that my nose was too flat.
I never knew that my clothes didn't fit.
I never knew there were things that I'd missed,
cause the beauty in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun);
...was in her eyes.
There were no mirrors in my Nana's house,
no mirrors in my Nana's house.
And the beauty that I saw in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun).
I was intrigued by the cracks in the walls.
I tasted, with joy, the dust that would fall.
The noise in the hallway was music to me.
The trash and the rubbish just cushioned my feet.
And the beauty in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun).
...was in her eyes.
There were no mirrors in my Nana's house,
no mirrors in my Nana's house.
And the beauty that I saw in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun).
The world outside was a magical place.
I only knew love.
I never knew hate,
and the beauty in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun).
...was in her eyes.
There were no mirrors in my Nana's house,
no mirrors in my Nana's house.
There were no mirrors in my Nana's house,
no mirrors in my Nana's house.
And the beauty that I saw in everything
was in her eyes (like the rising of the sun).
"Chil', look deep into my eyes."
"Chil', look deep into my eyes."
"Chil'..."

COMMENTS
In both of these songs the church members effortlessly moved from a unison format verse format (with a lead singer starting the verse) to a call & response format and back to the unison format.
A 1991 Baptist Hymnal provides credits the words & tune for this song as "traditional African American". Here are the words from that Hymnal:
Bless that wonderful name of Jesus [3x]
No other name I know.
Other verses using the same format:
Sing that wonderful name...
Preach...

LYRICS TO THIS FAVORITE
KING JESUS (WILL ROLL ALL BURDENS AWAY!)
VERSE 1
When I should feel so sad
Why does my soul feel so glad
Why does my heart feel so happy and gay
When all around me burdens roll
Yet I'm not worried at all
For when I pray
King Jesus will roll my burdens away
CHORUS
Roll them away
Roll them away
King Jesus will roll my burdens away
When I pray
He opens doors for me
Doors I'm unable to see
For when I pray
King Jesus will roll my burdens away
VERSE 2
While He is on the throne
I'm never left all alone
For He's my friend and He walks with me each day
All He asked me to do
Just keep His Word and be true
For when I pray
King Jesus will roll my burdens away
REPEAT CHORUS
Roll them away
Roll them away
King Jesus will roll my burdens away
When I pray
He opens doors for me
Doors I'm unable to see
For when I pray
King Jesus will roll my burdens away
REPEAT CHORUS
Roll them away
Roll them away
King Jesus will roll my burdens away
When I pray
He opens doors for me
Doors I'm unable to see
For when I pray
King Jesus will roll my burdens away

I think that the second verse in this rendition is:*
And with my cares and distress
And all my trials they oppress
At His dear feet all my burdens I lay.
For He will my hardships bear
And all my trials He'll share
And that's why I say
King Jesus will roll all burdens away.

I think that the third verse in this rendition is:*
Like a king on his throne
I'm never left alone.
I have a Friend who walks with me all the way.
And all He asks me to do
Is keep His laws and be true.
And if I do
King Jesus will roll all burdens away.
[and the chorus for this rendition & the renditions I learned and many other people sing is as follow]
All away

bryantjonz, February 2012
"The song was written written by the renowned Kenneth Morris of Chicago's Martin and Morris Music Company in 1947..."

That blogger adds lyrics for this song which includes this Verse #2:
And when my cares distress
And when my trials oppress
At his dear feet, all of my burdens I lay,
For He knows my hearts despair and all my trials share
That's Why I say King Jesus will roll all my burdens away

One month before wrote his comment, another blogger on that page wrote "The Holmes Brothers typically wrote their own music, so it can only be assumed they also wrote King Jesus as they are the singers who did the original version. This vocal and instrumental trio is originally from Christchurch, Virginia. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holmes_Brothers for more on the same."
-snip-
However, bryantjonz responded to that suggestion by writing:
"(btw, in response to dunczn's answer, the Holmes Brothers gave Morris credit on their album)", and another blogger LordTap47 indicated that he had the sheet music for that song and the words and music were written by Kenneth Morris.
