Take hold of my hand And lead me to the Promised Land Darkness covers over all A sad consequence of the fall Take control of my life To overcome the strife Pain and anguish are all around And sin does everywhere abound Take over the fight And remove from me all sight Of suffering and loss And lead me to the cross I surrender my life to you Concerning the struggle I am through I can no longer fight alone Seeds of woe have been sown It’s time to join forces with the One Who came to earth and has won The victory over death and hell And his love to compel Take hold, take control, and take over Time is short The battle fierce I need you to hold the fort Jesus be my Light Amen |
