1.     O lead me Lord, the way is hard,

There is no light to guide through,

Your presence seems no longer near,

Around are clouds that hide You.

CHORUS

While in my heart, Your peace abides,

Jesus, Your word that strengthens

Gives me a faith that never ends;

I know I’m not forsaken.

2. At times the day is as the night

Brings fear and doubt within me,

The darkness in my soul surrounds,

Entwines to captivate me.

3. But through the gloom, by faith I see

You, Lord before me standing;

Your hands outstretched, You beckon me,

With heart of understanding.

4. You bid me come to You and rest,

Forsaken my ways and striving,

Your words of life bring hope and joy,

I lean on You abiding.

5. I will not choose another way,

But follow You my saviour,

Give me Your faith, ‘t will never fail,

I’ll trust in you for ever.
