Spiritual title: Take My Hand, Precious Lord Performed by Clara Ward     Andrew Higueros

Lyrics: "Precious Lord, take my hand.
Lead me on, let me stand.
I am tired, I am weak, and 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, lead me near,
When my life is almost gone.
Hear my cry, hear my call.
Hold my hand, lest I fall.
Take my hand, precious Lord,

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.
Lead me home.

What it means: It means they want God to hear there cries and take them out of this miseries.

Who would sing this: I think churches and groups of religious people will sing this.

Secret messages in the song: Someone is going to escape
They are going to the river when darkness comes along.
They are weak and worn so they need some guidance.
