when you’re down and troubled
you need some loving care
and nothing, ain’t nothing going right
close, close your eyes
and meditate on him
and soon he will be there
god can brighten up
he can brighten up your darkest hours

precious lord, take my hand
lead me on, let me stand
i am tired, i am weak, i am worn
through the storm, through the light
lead me on to the light
take my hand, precious lord
be my friend

you just call out his name
and you know wherever you are
he will be there to see you again
winter, spring, summer and fall
all you have to do is call
and he’ll be there
you got a friend
you got a friend

precious lord, take my hand
lead me on, let me stand
i am tired, i am weak, i am worn
through the storm, through the light
lead me on to the light
and he’ll be there
you got a friend




Aretha Franklin que tem cantado e encantado, usando a sua voz e o seu enorme talento com musicas com esta que cuja letra reproduzo, está a passar por um momento difícil. Está doente. Que Deus lhe lembre desta letra e lhe dê a mão.
