Precious Lord, Take My Hand

I remember when I was growing up
I used to hear the old folks sing this song
But I didn't understand what they were singing about
Because I really didn't know what they were going through
But now that I have grown up to become a man
I understand what they mean when they sing this song

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I get so tired, I get so weak, I get worn

Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on by the light
Take my hand, precious Lord
Lead me home

When my way grows drear
Precious Lord, linger near
When my life is al-, almost gone

Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand, lest I fall
Take my hand (take my hand), precious Lord
Lead me home

When the darkness appears
And the night draws near
When the day has passed and gone

At the river, Lord, I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand (take my hand), precious Lord
Lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I get so tired, I get so weak, and I get worn (yes, I do)

Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on (lead me on) by the light
Take my hand, precious Lord, and lead me home
Yes, Lord
