TAKE MY HAND

Words and Music by Danny Oertli ' 6-95
Mathew 11:28-30

When I was a young I loved to hear the story
Of the man who was born long ago
How He came to heal the sick and give hope to all the people
And to die on the cross for my soul

So I sing
Come sweet Jesus, and take me by the hand
And lead me so far away
To where there's rest for the weary
And strength for the weak
And we can walk by the light of the day
Show me the promised land and take me by the hand

Well some say that Jesus could walk upon the water
And I do believe that it's true
Because I've seen His mighty power at work in my life
He's the only thing I've found to be true

So I sing
Come sweet Jesus, and take me by the hand
And lead me so far away
To where there's rest for the weary
And strength for the weak
And we can walk by the light of the day
Show me the promised land and take me by the hand

And when I'm gone my soul will go to heaven
To the place He's prepared there for me
And we all will gather round to laugh and sing forever
On the shores of the great crystal sea

So I sing
Come sweet Jesus, and take me by the hand
And lead me so far away
To where there's rest for the weary
And strength for the weak
And we can walk by the light of the day
Show me the promised land and take me by the hand
