Take My Hand Precious Lord
Guided through darkness: Embracing hope in 'Take My Hand Precious Lord'
Lyrics
Precious Lord, take my hand
Requesting guidance and support from a revered figure or deity.
Lead me on, let me stand
Asking to be led forward and given stability.
I am tired
Expressing exhaustion, possibly both physically and emotionally.
I am weak
Acknowledging personal frailty or lack of strength.
I am warm
Describing a sense of vulnerability or weariness.
Through the storm, through the night
Seeking guidance and support through difficult times.
Lead me on to the light
Asking to be directed towards illumination or a better situation.
Take my hand, precious lord, lead me home
Reiterating the plea for guidance and a path homeward.
When my way grows drear'
Expressing a sense of despair or difficulty in the journey.
Precious Lord, linger near
Asking for the presence of the revered figure during hardships.
When my life is almost gone
Referencing the nearing end of life, seeking assistance.
Hear my cry, hear my call
Pleading for the revered figure to listen and respond.
Hold my hand lest I fall
Requesting support to prevent a potential downfall or failure.
Take my hand, precious lord, lead me home
Repeated plea for guidance and a way back home.
When the darkness appears, and the night draws near
Describing the arrival of darkness and impending challenges.
And the day is past and gone
Reflecting on the passage of time and the approach of the night.
Let the river, where I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand
Seeking divine assistance in navigating through difficulties.
Take my hand, precious lord, lead me home
Reiteration of the plea for guidance towards home.
Take my hand, precious lord, lead me home
Final plea for guidance and support towards returning home.
