Lead Me Father

Johnny Crash


Tom: G

        G         D7           G
When my hands are tired and my step is slow
       C                       G
Walk beside me and give me the strength to go
        C                           G          Em
Fill my face with your courage so defeat won't show
        D7                       C           G
Pick me up when I stumble so the world won't know


[Chorus]
C                       G
Lead me Father with the staff of life 
C           A7             D7
Give me the strength for a song
         C                  G
That the words I sing might more strength bring
   D7                            C       G
To help some poor troubled weary worker along


[Verse 2]
        G      D7          G
When my way is light but I still can't see
       C                          G
With a strong hand strike out the blindness in me
        C                        G      Em
Show me work that I should carry on for Thee
        D7                               C          G
Make my way straight and narrow like you want it to be


[Chorus]
C                       G
Lead me Father with the staff of life
C           A7             D7
Give me the strength for a song
         C                  G
That the words I sing might more strength bring
   D7                            C       G
To help some poor troubled weary worker along
