“I am weak, and I need Thy strength and power,

To help me over my weakest hour, 

Let me through the darkness, Thy face to see

Lead me, O Lord, lead me.

Lead me, guide me, along the way,

For if you lead me I cannot stray.

Lord let me walk each day with Thee,

Lead me, O Lord, lead me!”

 

Powerful words from a powerful hymn written by one who was once considered “Miss Gospel Music” Doris Akers. Let those words bless us today and always.
