[Verse 1]
Hold my hand, let's not lose my way
Hold my hand and lead me home
Guide each step that I might take
Hold my hand and keep me strong

[Verse 2]
And let the path I walk be straight
Let the deeds I do be kind
Let me never hesitate
To help my brother walking blind

Hold my hand, let's not lose my way
Hold my hand and lead me home
Guide each step that I might take
Hold my hand and keep me strong

[Verse 3]
And let my words have meaning, Lord
Anything that I might speak
If you see me leaning low
Just hold my hand and strengthen me

Hold my hand, let's not lose my way
Hold my hand and lead me home
Guide each step that I might take
Hold my hand and keep me strong

Amen

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
