Once I stood in the night
With my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as the sea
And my heart was afraid
And I cried oh Lord
Don't hide your face from me
Hold my hand all the way
Every hour every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand
Let me stand
Where no one stands alone
Like a queen I may live
In a palace so tall
With great riches
To call my own
But I don't know a thing
In this whole wide world
That's worse
Than being alone
Hold my hand all the way
Every hour every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand
Let me stand
Where no one stands alone
