Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
I need the prayers of those who love me, I need the prayers of those who care; I need the help of every Christian, To take God's message everywhere.
Verse 2
I cannot walk the straight and narrow, Without my Savior's guiding hand; He'll light the way and make it fairer, For all the faithful in the land.
Verse 3
He'll hold your hand when you are dying, Give strength to cross the Jordan wide; He'll help you answer at the judgment, If in His love you will abide.
Chorus
He answers prayer for all the faithful, He holds the future in His hand; He'll guide us safely over Jordan, Our heavenly Father understands, (understands.)
