Please Hold My Hand, Dear Lord

Please hold my hand, Dear Lord

I need You on this day

My burdens seem so heavy

As I bend down on knees to pray.

Today I feel so sad inside

I'm not sure what to do

But as I fold my hands in prayer

I feel You'll see me through.

I'm asking for Your blessings

To take my fears away

Please, Dear Lord, just show me

How to handle this day.

I need you, Lord, I must confess

Please touch me on this day

Hold my hand and guide me

Please take these fears away.

Some may bear their burden alone

With each day that they will face

But, Lord, I just can't walk alone

I need your redeeming grace.

The sadness that I feel for friends

Who so dearly touch my heart

Please, Dear Lord, be with them too

And have their fears depart.

Sometimes we have to pass through thorns

To see the beauty of a rose

But faith will bring us through the pain

And see us through our woes.

So take my hand today, Dear Lord

And ease this heart of mine

For I leave all my trust in You

To make my day again shine.
