The Joyful Singers: Texte

Guide Me, Jesus

chorus: Guide me Jesus, Jesus, guide me
   Like the headman leads the blind.
Guide me gently I will follow.
   Guide me Jesus, I will follow
On a way I'd never find,
On a way I'd never find.
(Isaiah 42.16)

1 verse: Growing up is getting lonesome
That is what I learned.
Losing all my childhood friends -
One by one they turned.
Would I ever find the mate
For whom I badly yearned,
Would I ever find the mate
For whom I badly yearned?

2 Strolling in the darkness as a
Blind who cannot see
I was looking for a confidant
Who's guiding me.
Who was up to tear my blindfold
And to let me see,
Who was up to tear my blindfold
And to let me see.

chorus: Guide me Jesus, Jesus, guide me
   Like the Lord his holy nation.
Guide me gently I will follow.
   Through enticement and temptation
On a way I'd never find,
On a way I'd never find.
(Isaiah 62.12)

3 Getting by the old cathedral
dropped in for a peek.
Through the sermon of the preacher
I heard Jesus speak -
Joy arose from mournfulness
And strength out of the weak,
Joy arose from mournfulness
And strength out of the weak.

4 Now I am no longer lonesome
He is on my side.
Even if I doubt or falter
Jesus is my guide.
Be I weak or vilified
His weakness is my pride,
Be I weak or vilified
His weakness is my pride.

chorus: Guide me Jesus, Jesus, guide me
   Like a shepherd guides his sheep.
Guide me gently I will follow.
   For my confidence is deep
On a way I'd never find,
On a way I'd never find.
(Isaiah 40.11)
