The song didn’t mean much to me because I was young and inexperienced. More contemporary numbers would satisfy my taste and tickle my soul. Then life has a way of processing, sifting, extracting, and disappointing most everyone. Now it is one of my theme songs. I’ve looked at life from both sides now. Well, here it is:
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
When my way grows drear, precious Lord, linger near
When my life is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home
Home sounds good, doesn’t it? Still some things left undone that need to be completed. Have to get busy with that.
Give it some thought.
