Hold My Hand
Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
We chose the hymn, “Precious Lord, Take My Hand” (LSB #739) for my daughter’s memorial service. “Precious Lord, take my hand, Lead me on, let me stand; I am tired, I am weak, I am worn. Through the storm, through the night, Lead me on to the light.” This beautiful hymn was written by gospel singer, Thomas Dorsey, out of deep grief after losing his young wife and baby in childbirth in 1932. His words and music have reminded many broken spirits that we’re never alone.
Our faith, family, and friends give us comfort during the storms of life. Even during our darkest moments, God’s with us! I know I look forward to being with my church-pew friends each week. Their hugs feel like my precious Lord is holding my hand!
