Precious Lord, Take My Hand Lyrics

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home       

         This song came to my heart today.  It was written in 1932 by Thomas A. Dorsey after the death of his wife and child in childbirth.  It is based on a poem she wrote.  It has been sung by famous singers like Mahlai Jackson and was a favorite hymn of Martin Luther King, Jr.  When faced with death we understand weakness, exhaustion, a storm of emotions and the precious comfort of our faith.  You may not be in crisis right now but please listen and enjoy.
