Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hmm, stepping through the sinking sand
To the cross of Calvary
Mmm, let it be my prayer, dear Lord, each day
To help me do the best I can

For there is no friend on whom I can depend
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
Oh, yes, I need Thee every hour
Through the pilgrims land
Protect me by thy saving power

Please, hear my feeble plea
Oh, oh, Lord, please, tell me




I kneel in prayer, I try to meet you there
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand, hold my hand
