Jesus Hold My Hand
Vern Gosdin

D
As I travel through this pilgrim land
            G                    D 
There is a friend who walks with me.

Leads me safely through the sinking sand
            E          A
It is the Christ at Calvary.
D
This would be my prayer dear Lord each day
            G             D
To help me do the best I can
       G                  D
For I need Thy light to guide me day and night
          A            D 
Blessed Jesus hold my hand.

Chorus:
                      G               D 
Jesus hold my hand I need thee every hour
                            E                A
Through this pilgrim land protect me by thy power.
D                      G                D
Hear my feeble plea O Lord look down on me
                  G       D
When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there
          A            D
Blessed Jesus hold my hand.

D
Let me travel in the light divine
            G               D
That I may see the blessed way

Keep me that I may be wholly Thine
            E                    A
And sing redemption's song some day
D
I will be a soldier brave and true
           G             D  
And ever firmly take a stand
             G       D
As I onward go and daily meet the foe
          A            D
Blessed Jesus hold my hand.

Chorus:
D                 G       D
When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there
          A  
Blessed Jesus hold my hand.
