Take My Hand, Precious Lord

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lone

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 light 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

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lone

Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light

Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home.




Talk About the Good Times
Well I remember when I was as children
The time the people used to treat the neighbor like a fellow man

And all their singin' and big prayer meetin's
When a man was proud to walk up and shake his neighbors hand

Oh you talk about the good times, Talk about the good times
Oh if you ever needed help a friend was there

Some good neighbor
Help lift your burden

Mmm, and the simple joys of life a friend would share
Times are harder and the people are changin'


Now most folks couldn't tell you who their neighbors are
All their guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted

Ain't this ol' world takin' hate and fear just a little too far

Oh you talk about the good times, Talk about the good times

I wish I could go back to the days I'm speakin of
When a friend would meet you

And a smile would greet you
What this ol' world needs now is a little old fashioned love

My granddaddy
God rest his soul now

Well we had a big long talk together the day he died
Said son this world is full of hate and venom

An' I can't wait to leave this ol' place and rest on the other side
Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times

Talk about the good times I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol' days
We'll have a big hand shakin'

An' sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times
Talk about the good times

I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol' days
We'll have a big hand shakin'

An' sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times
Talk about the good times

I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol' days
We'll have a big hand shakin'

An' sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away.
