Vern Gosdin Jesus Hold My Hand Lyrics

V1
(D) As I travel through this pilgrim land
There is a (G) friend, who walks with (D) me
Leads me safely through the sinking sand
It is the (E) Christ of (E7) Calva-(A7)-ry

V2
(D) This would be my prayer dear Lord each day
To help me (G) do the best I (D) can
For I (G) need the light to (D) guide me day and night
Blessed Jesus (A7) hold my (D) hand

Chorus:
(D) Jesus, hold my hand, I (G) need, thee every (D)
hour
Through, this pilgrim land, pro-(E)-tect me (E7) by Thy
(A7) power
(D) Hear my feeble plea, O-(G)-Lord, look down on (D)
me
*When I (G) kneel in prayer I (D) hope to meet you
there
*Blessed Jesus (A7) hold my (D) hand Instrumental – Follow pattern of last two lines in
Chorus*

(D) Let me travel in the light divine
That I may (G) see, the blessed (D) way
Keep me that I may be wholly Thine
And sing re-(E)-demption's (E7) song some (A7) day

(D) I will be a soldier brave and true
And ever (G) firmly take a (D) stand
As I (G) onward go and (D) daily meet the foe
Blessed Jesus (A7) hold my (D) hand

Repeat Chorus

When I (G) kneel in prayer I (D) hope to meet you there
Blessed Jesus (A7) hold my (D) hand
