Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child (3)

A long ways from home (2)

Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone (3)

Way up in the heavenly land (2)

True believer

Way up in the heavenly land (2)

Lord, don’t move the mountain

Just give me strength to climb

Lord, don’t move my stumbling block

But lead me on around

*

Our cares we bring unto you

You told us, Lord, that we could

You promised to help those who help themselves

And I believe that you will

*

The way may not be easy

You didn’t say, Lord, that it would be

For when our tribulations get too light

We tend to stray from Thee

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I’m tired, I’m weak, I’m 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 light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call

*

Hold my hand, lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord
Lead me home

*

When the darkness appears
And the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river, I stand

*

Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord
Lead me home

*

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I’m tired, I’m weak, I’m worn

*

Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord
Lead me home

Mahalia Jackson: “I sing God’s music because it makes me feel free. … It gives me hope. With the blues, when you finish, you still have the blues.”
