Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low
In the darkness, as black as could be
And 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 tall
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 grave unknown
Take my hand
Let me stand
Where no one stands alone
