Where Do I Go From Here
Jim Reeves · The Best of Jim Reeves: 20 Gospel Favorites [IMPORT] [2002]
Where do I go from here?
What fate is drawing near?
Touch my heart
And guide my lips in prayer.
Through the grace of God alone
I'll cast aside these fears I've known
And lift myself from
The depths of deep dispair.
Lead me through the darkness
And through each gloomy day.
Take my hand, oh, precious Lord
And help me on my way.
Give me strength that I might find
Abiding faith and peace of mind
And I won't ask
Where do I go from here?
--- Instrumental ---
Please, Lead me through the darkness
And through each gloomy day.
Take my hand, oh, precious Lord
And help me on my way.
Give me strength that I might find
Abiding faith and peace of mind
And I won't ask
Where do I go from here?
