Take the Hand of Jesus - Doug Seegers

Will you take the hand of Jesus?

Let him purify your soul

Will you take that path to heaven

With the treetops lined with gold?

Well they’re all gonna welcome

Anyone who stumbles by

Brother, tell me are you ready

For that place beyond the sky?

I can see my grandma’s fingers

As they slide across the keys

I can hear her while she’s playing

That old fashioned melody

I can see my uncle sitting

With his banjo on his knee

While my daddy’s up and singing

Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Will you take the hand of Jesus?

Let him purify your soul

Will you take that path to heaven

With the treetops lined with gold?

Well they’re all gonna welcome

Anyone who stumbles by

Brother, tell me are you ready

For that place beyond the sky?

Well I know you got your habits

And I know you got your pain

And I know you’re feeling guilty

Cause you think he’s cursed your name

Well brothers, we’re all sinners

Each and every one the same

It’s so hard to be an angel

With the devil in the way

Will you take the hand of Jesus?

Let him purify your soul

Will you take that path to heaven

With the treetops lined with gold?

Well they’re all gonna welcome

Anyone who stumbles by

Brother, tell me are you ready

For that place beyond the sky?

Sister, tell me are you ready

For that place beyond the sky?

Will you take the hand?
