Oh My Lord
Kid Brothers Of St. Frank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lead me on, let me stand
I am tired
I am weak
I am warm
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
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
Let the river, where I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand, precious lord, lead me home
Take my hand, precious lord, lead me home
The Kid Brothers Of St. Frank's song "Oh My Lord" is a powerful and emotional plea for strength, guidance and comfort in times of darkness and weakness. The song is a prayer to God, asking Him to take the singer's hand and lead him to safety, light and peace. The opening lines, "Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand" set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer acknowledges his need for divine intervention in his life.
The lyrics touch on themes of weariness, despair, and the fear of falling, but also express faith, hope and trust in God's power and mercy. The repeated phrase "Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home" reflects the longing for a sense of belonging, security and rest that can only be found in the presence of God. The metaphor of the river represents the journey of life, with its twists and turns and obstacles, but also the potential for cleansing and renewal.
The song has been covered by many artists and has become a classic of gospel music, inspiring and comforting listeners for decades. Its simple yet deeply moving lyrics and melody capture the essence of the human condition and the longing for spiritual connection and comfort.
