Precious Lord
Guided Through Life's Trials: Precious Lord by Doc Watson
Lyrics
Precious Lord Take My hand lead me on let me stand
Requesting guidance and support from a higher power to lead and uphold.
Lord I'm tired weak and I'm worn
Expressing weariness, fatigue, and feeling depleted.
Through the storm through the night
Seeking support through difficult times and challenges.
Lead me on to the light
Asking to be guided towards illumination, metaphorically referring to enlightenment or hope.
Precious Lord take my hand, lead me on
Reiterating the plea for guidance and support.
When my friends don't understand
Expressing disappointment in friends' lack of comprehension and assistance.
And they fail to lend a hand
Highlighting the absence of help and support from friends.
When my load gets to heavy to bear
Describing the overwhelming burden becoming too much to handle alone.
As I go along life's way
Reflecting on navigating life's journey.
I just slip away and pray
Turning to prayer as a means of solace and guidance.
And dear Lord I can always find you there.
Belief in finding the divine presence in moments of prayer and need.
When my way groweth drear
Expressing a sense of hardship and difficulty in life's path.
And the night's drawin' near
Anticipating challenging times and the approach of difficult moments.
When my life is almost gone
Feeling life nearing its end, possibly metaphorically or literally.
At that river I stand
At a pivotal moment (symbolized by a river), seeking guidance and direction.
Guide my feet Lord, won't you take my hand
Asking for assistance and guidance from a higher power.
Precious Lord take my hand, lead me on.
Reiterating the plea for divine guidance and support.
Precious Lord Take My hand lead me on let me stand
A repetition of the initial plea for guidance and support.
Lord I'm tired getting weak and so worn
Reiterating weariness and exhaustion, seeking help.
Through the storm through the night
Continuing to seek support and guidance through difficulties.
Lead me on Lord to that blessed light
Requesting guidance towards a more positive or peaceful state.
Precious Lord take my hand, lead me on.
Restating the plea for divine guidance and support.
