Take My Hand
Guidance Through Life's Burdens
Lyrics
Lord I work to serve you
Expressing commitment to serve a higher power (the Lord).
And I hope I've served you well
Hoping that the service has been performed satisfactorily.
Oh - I've lived a life to join you
Lived a life with the intention of joining the higher power.
And now only time will tell
Uncertain about the success of the intention, leaving it to time.
Oh - Take my hand when you are worried
Inviting someone to hold their hand during times of worry.
Take my hand when you're alone
Extending support during moments of solitude.
Take my hand and let me guide you
Offering guidance through challenges.
Take my hand to lead you home
Assisting in finding the way home, metaphorically or spiritually.
Father dear father
Referring to a father figure addressing his children.
Pulled his car to the side of the road
Stopping the car, possibly a metaphor for life's journey.
Looked at his children with tears in his eyes
Father expressing emotional concern for his children.
Said life is too heavy a load
Life is burdensome and challenging.
Take my hand when you are worried
Reiteration of the offer to provide support during worry.
Take my hand when you're alone
Reiterating the availability of companionship during loneliness.
Take my hand and let me guide you
Repeating the willingness to offer guidance.
Take my hand to lead you home
Emphasizing the role in leading someone to a metaphorical or spiritual home.
Some days I'm struck with sorrow
Expressing moments of deep sadness or grief.
Need a place to hide
Seeking a refuge or escape from life's challenges.
There's nowhere else you can put life
Highlighting the internal nature of dealing with life's issues.
But way down deep inside
Suggesting that life's struggles are deeply ingrained.
Take my hand and let me guide you
Repeating the offer to guide and provide support.
Take my hand when you're alone
Emphasizing the availability during moments of solitude.
Take my hand and let me guide you
Reiterating the willingness to offer guidance.
Take my hand to lead you home
Reinforcing the role in leading someone to a metaphorical or spiritual home.
Take my hand when you are worried
Reiteration of the offer to provide support during worry.
Take my hand to lead you home
Emphasizing the role in leading someone to a metaphorical or spiritual home.
Take my hand and let me guide you
Repeating the willingness to offer guidance.
Take my hand to lead you home
Emphasizing the role in leading someone to a metaphorical or spiritual home.
Take my hand...
Concluding with a reaffirmation of the offer to provide support.
