Lord, Don't Let Me Fail Songtext

von Mahalia Jackson

Lord don't let me fail, I want to be in your Bride,
When my way grows dark, keep me by your side
When my faith grows weak, always let me see
Something in my life that thou hast done for me.

If in our striving, we falter on our way.
We all like sheep, Lord, who've gone astray
But Christ, our savior, he'll never forsake his own.
In danger seen or unseen, he'll always lead us home.

Sometimes my way is weary, and I'm burdened down with care.
Seems like I've got no friends, Lord, to help me share.
But then I hear your voice, that in the midnight hour
Says, "Child, I am your God, and I will take you through."
