Seize the Moment – Day 529
Today’s hymn focus will be “Precious Lord, Take My Hand”
Isaiah 41:13(NLT)
“For I hold you by your right hand— I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.”
Thomas A Dorsey wrote this song out of his brokenness after losing his wife and newborn son. He wrote the song while at Ebenezer Baptist Church in South Chicago, and had the choir sing it on Sunday. He was quoted as saying “It tore up the church!”
Through the storm, through the night, Lead me on to the light
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
Dorsey said “My business is to try to bring people to Christ instead of leaving them where they are…What I share with people is love. I try to lift their spirits and let them know that God still loves them, still saving and giving them that power.”

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I’m tired, I’m weak, I’m worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
