 <\/p>\n

I needed an uplifting song this morning, so I began searching lots of music. As soon as I started a song, I knew it wasn\u2019t right. You know, the lyrics were great, but the music was a little depressing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a>I liked the sound of the Singing Americans, but it took me a while to find the one song I wanted to share today. But then this old hymn popped up. And when I started listening to it, I knew it was the perfect song for today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The lyrics are awesome, but the way these guys sing this song is outstanding. I pray that you will enjoy this as much as I did.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You may be facing a giant mountain today. If so, Jesus will walk beside you, but He will do so much more. You\u2019ll have someone to talk to. You\u2019ll have His righteous right hand upholding you. You\u2019ll be comforted by His peace. You\u2019ll find beautiful rest for your weary soul. You\u2019ll find protection in His presence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you read through these words and listen to this tune, I pray that you\u2019ll meet Jesus where you are. I pray that you will acknowledge your need for Him. And I pray that you will cry out to the One who loves you more than anyone else.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cJesus, Hold My Hand\u201d[i]<\/a>
\n <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I travel through this pilgrim land
\nThere is a friend who walks with me
\nLeads me safely through the sinking sand
\nIt is the Christ at Calvary.<\/p>\n

This would be my prayer dear Lord each day
\nTo help me do the best I can
\nFor I need Thy light to guide me day and night
\nBlessed Jesus hold my hand.<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nJesus hold my hand
\nI need thee every hour
\nThrough this pilgrim land
\nProtect me by thy power.<\/p>\n

Hear my feeble plea
\nO Lord look down on me
\nWhen I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there
\nBlessed Jesus hold my hand.<\/p>\n

Let me travel in the light divine
\nThat I may see the blessed way
\nKeep me that I may be wholly Thine
\nAnd sing redemption’s song someday<\/p>\n

I will be a soldier brave and true
\nAnd ever firmly take a stand
\nAs I onward go and daily meet the foe
\nBlessed Jesus hold my hand.<\/p>\n

(Chorus)<\/p>\n

When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there
\nBlessed Jesus hold my hand…<\/p>\n
