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 king 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
