Precious Lord, Take My Hand | by Thomas Andrew Dorsey
Hi, everybody! Our dear precious Lord is so loving and kind. He takes care of us as He leads us home.
We have a GoFundMe page set up if you would like to help us out during our homelessness. Here is the link: gofund.me/4b687c2d
Precious Lord, Take My Hand was written by Thomas Andrew Dorsey in 1938. "In 1932, a week after the death of his wife in childbirth and the subsequent death of his newborn son, Thomas Andrew Dorsey (b. Villa Rica, GA, 1899; d. Chicago, IL, 1993) wrote this text. He also arranged the George N. Allen tune PRECIOUS LORD to match his text. Dorsey is, considered the "father" of the African American gospel tradition (in distinction from the spiritual tradition) and was an active writer in this style from the 1920s through the 1950s. "Precious Lord" is the most popular of the early group of gospel songs that arose in the United States. Martin Luther King, Jr., chose the hymn as one of the "freedom anthems" of the Civil Rights Movement; since that time it has been included in many hymnals.
Given the circumstances surrounding Dorsey's writing of this text, it is not surprising that it has the character of the Old Testament lament psalms: we confess our own helplessness (st. 1), and we utter a cry for divine help (st. 2), but even in the face of death we are confident of God's saving power (st. 3).

Here are the lyrics:
Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand.
I am tired, I am weak, I am 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 life 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.

Hello, everyone! As most of you know we are now homeless, if you would like to help us out with a donation, you can use the link: gofund.me/35da00d3 During this time in our lives, we really need our precious Lord! He leads, guides, and provides for us. What would we do without Him?
Many of us suffer from pain of abandonment, rejection and betrayal. Despite all of this, through Jesus Christ we can understand the sacrificial, compassionate, and enduring nature of true love. God's love the trinity and he love me too, and he love also to everyone. That is the great love that he has given to everyone's and he,ll always do. Amen. ❤. God's blessed and stay saved in God's protection on earth as long as the trinity have a life to lived on this earth. ❤. Amen.

Hi, Heather! Thanks so much for your prayers, they mean a lot to us! Amen! We know He is watching over us and providing for us. He also allowed my daughter to have an accident last Sunday, which forced us to all (5 people) to live in one vehicle. Not complaining, as God is keeping things peaceful amongst us. We are using more gas now, but it’s freeing not having the mortgage over our heads. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement! God bless!

God's blessed and stay saved in God's protection on earth as long as you have a life to lived on this earth.❤.Amen❤.❤.❤.

Hi, Anna! Trials in life are what make our faith grow, at least that's the Sunday School answer, but the reality is never that pretty. We have found that the key with suffering is to keep our eyes on Jesus, and He will see us through the valleys of life. Hope you have a great weekend and God bless!
