Once I stood in the night
With my head bowed low
In darkness as black as the sea
In my heart felt alone
And I cried, oh Lord don't
Hide your face from me
Hold my hand all the way
Every hour every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone

Like a king I may live
In a palace so fine with
Great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing
In this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone
Hold my hand all the way
Every hour every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone
