Lead Me, Guide Me


Words & Music:
D. AkersLead me oh Lord, won't you lead me
I am tired and I need Thy strength and power
To guide me over my darkest hour
For just open my eyes that I may see
Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me
Lead me, guide me along the way
For if you lead me I cannot stray
Or just open my eyes that I may see
Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me
I am lost if you take your hand from me
I am blind without try light to see
Lord just always let me Thy servant be
Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me
Lead me, guide me along the way
For if you lead me I cannot stray
Lord just open my eyes that I may see
Lead me oh Lord, won't you lead me Recorded:

He Touched MeReactions
Again a wonderful gospel.
This album is as good as the other two. I give them all 5 stars,that count for this song to.
"His Hand In Mine" / "How Great Thou Art" were good albums, he should have left it at that as far as "He Touched" Me goes.
Absolutely beautiful, a recording from the heart and soul. Also love the pictures of Elvis singing this backstage in Elvis on Tour. Four stars.
The "He Touched Me" LP was a little uneven; but it did have many great tracks. The title song, "Reach Out To Jesus", "Bosom Of Abraham", "I, John" are top-notch; but this one is the crown jewel of the album. Elvis sings it with conviction and sincerity, the lyrics are well-crafted and the Imperials provide outstanding backing vocals. One of my favorite Elvis sacred songs.
Another great song from he touched me album. love gospel elvis
Nice gospel song. Good melody and sung very well.
