Praise [x3]
Lord I stand before you once again
I'm so glad that I know you understand
I done everything I know how to do
And as usual I end up crying out to you
I tryed so hard to do my best
But I don't feel like I'll make it through this test
I can't remember feeling so much pain
And my tears keep falling like the pooring rain
I try to force myself to wear a smile but it's just not there
This pain I'm feeling deep inside my heart seems so unfare
It really feels like I won't make it through another day
So I stand before you with a broken heart and all I can say is
Precious Lord please
Take my hand
(Do you know what I'm talking about out there)
(Please Lord)
Help me stand (help me to stand, please help me now)
See I can't front Lord standing here today
Cause I stumbled here there along the way
I'm praying even as I sing this song Lord
For my breakthrough I hope it won't be to long
I try to force myself to wear a smile but it's just not there
This pain I'm feeling deep down inside my heart seem so unfare
This time I feel like I won't make it through another day
So I come before you with a broken heart and all I can say is
Precious Lord ehhh...
Take my hand
(Would you do that, would you please do that for me)
(Lead me on, lead me on
Help me stand (help me to stand, help me to stand)
Deep down I know you will come through
That's why I'm reaching, reaching out to you
Cause I need to feel your loveing arms again
An when I feel your loving touch that's win
I'll be ok, I will be ok I will make it it you take my hand

"Take My Hand" by Fred Hammond is a powerful and heartfelt song that resonates with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, broken, or in need of divine intervention. The lyrics express a deep longing for God's presence and guidance in the midst of pain and struggle. As I listen to this song, I am reminded of several scripture verses that beautifully align with its theme and offer comfort and hope.
One verse that comes to mind is Psalm 23:4, which says, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." In times of difficulty, it is natural to feel overwhelmed and afraid. However, this verse reminds us that God is our constant companion, even in the darkest of times. When we feel like we can't go on, we can turn to Him and ask Him to take our hand, knowing that He will guide and comfort us.
Another verse that relates to the message of the song is Isaiah 41:13, which says, "For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." This verse reminds us that God is not distant or aloof, but rather, He actively reaches out to us and offers His help and support. When we feel weak and incapable, we can trust that God is right there beside us, holding our hand and providing the strength and assistance we need.
The song also echoes the sentiment expressed in James 4:8, which says, "Come near to God and he will come near to you." Sometimes, in the midst of our struggles, we may feel distant from God or question His presence in our lives. However, this verse reminds us that if we draw near to God with an open heart, seeking His presence and guidance, He will meet us there. When we reach out our hand to God, He is always ready and willing to take hold of it and lead us through our difficulties.
"Take My Hand" by Fred Hammond is not only musically captivating but also spiritually uplifting. It speaks to the universal human experience of pain and the longing for God's presence in the midst of it. The lyrics and the melody come together to create an atmosphere of vulnerability and surrender, inviting the listener to bring their burdens and struggles to God and trust Him to provide comfort and guidance.
In conclusion, "Take My Hand" is a song that speaks to the deep desires of the human heart for connection, comfort, and divine intervention. The scriptures mentioned above beautifully reinforce the message of the song, reminding us of God's promise to be with us, to help us, and to draw near to us when we reach out to Him. As we listen to this song, may it serve as a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, and that God is always ready to take our hand and lead us through.
