I asked the Lord, "Help me find my way,
Help me find a way, to the Promised Land.
This lonely body needs a helping hand."
I asked the Lord to help me, please, find the way.

When the new day is a-dawnin', I bow my head in prayer
I pray to the Lord, "Won't You lead me there?
Won't You guide me safely, to the golden stair,
Won't You let this body, Your burden share"
I pray to the Lord, "Won't You lead me, please, lead me there"

When the judgement comes, find the world in chains,
When the trumpet blows, won't You call my name?
When the thunder rolls, and the heavens rain,
When the sun turns black, never shine again,
When the trumpet blows, won't You call me, please, call my name
