Representative Text

1 Dark is the road that lies before me,
How can I find my way?
Tangled the path that beckons to me,
Lead me, O Lord, I pray.

Chorus:
Lea me, O lead me,
Never will I go astray or roam;
Lead me, O lead me,
Lead me till I reach my heavenly home.

2 Dangers are lurking, foes are threat’ning,
Satan his pow’r has shown;
Stay by my side, protect and guide me,
I dare not walk alone. [Chorus]
