Lead Me Guide Me Along the Way
Pastor E Dewey Smith Jr at The Greater Travelers Rest Baptist Church " House of Hope Atlanta "
Gospel Hymns
Doris M. Akers (b. Brookfield, MO, 1922) wrote both text and tune of this African American gospel hymn in 1953 in Oakland, California. The text is an earnest plea for an intimate walk with God, who is asked to lead, guide, and protect the believer. The deeply personal stanzas emphasize that divine guidance is essential because of our lack of strength, our blindness, and Satan's temptations. Only God can lead us on the narrow path and through all the complexities and challenges of earthly life. Like many of the psalms, this text pours out in prayer the yearning of the individual Christian, a prayer that reminds us of these words of the psalmist:
Lead me, Lord, lead me in thy righteousness;
make thy way plain before my face.
For it is thou, Lord, thou, Lord only
that makest me dwell in safety.
-Psalm 4:8; 5:8 (KJV) as set to music by Samuel S. Wesley (PHH 206)
Akers had an active career as singer, choir director, and songwriter. She wrote her first song at age ten and since that time has composed more than three hundred gospel songs and hymns, most of which we republished by Manna Music (including 'There's a Sweet, Sweet Spirit in this Place"). She resides in Columbus, Ohio.

[@reginahunter1942]

I saw this video and scrolled passed it but the Holy Spirit made me scroll back but I scrolled passed it again and again he made me scroll back this time I’m so hard he did. Brothers and sisters God knows what we need and when we need it and this is exactly what I need I am struggling with some things. Lord I need you to lead me, guide me along the way because if YOU lead me I will not go astray. Saints pray for me , Saints pray for me that the Lord not take his mighty hands off me for the devil seeks to devour me but I know that the prayers of the righteous availath much. Whoever posted this video God knew that someone like myself would come across it at the right time to be lifted up.
