Precious Lord, Take My Hand/You've Got a Friend (Live at New Temple Missionary Baptist Church, Los Angeles, January 13, 1972)

When you're down and troubled
You need some loving care
Ain't nothing ain't nothing going right
Close close your eyes
And meditate on him
And soon he will be there
God can brighten up
He can brighten up your darkest hours

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 on to the light
Take my hand, precious Lord, be my friend

(You just call out his name) Precious Lord, take my hand
(And you know wherever you are) Lead on me, let me stand
(He will be there to see you again) I get tired, I am weak, and I get worn, I get worn
(Winter, spring, summer or fall) Through the storm, through the night
And he'll be there, ooh
