Mahalia Jackson
Lord, Don’t Let Me Fail
[Chorus]
Lord, don't let me fail, I wanna be in your bride
When my way grows dark, yeah, keep me by your side
When my faith grows weak, always let me see
Something in my life, oh, that Thou hast done for me
Mm, Lord, don't let me fail, I wanna be in your bride
When my way grows dreary, keep me by your side
When my faith grows weak, always let me see
Something in my life, oh, that Thou hast done for me
[Verse 1]
If in our striving, we falter on our way
We all like sheep, Lord, have gone astray
But Christ is our Savior; He'll never forsake His own
In days seen and unseen God will lead us safely home
[Chorus]
Well, well, well, Lord, don't let me fail, I wanna be in your bride
When my way grows dark, mm, keep me by your side
When my faith grows weak, always let me see
Something in my life, oh, that Thou hast done for me
[Verse 2]
Sometimes my way is weary, and I'm burdened down with tears
It seemed I had no friend, oh Lord, help me share
But then I hear Your voice that in the midnight hour
Saying, "Child, I am your God and I will take you through"
[Chorus]
Well, Lord, don't you let me fail, I wanna be in your bride
When my way grows dark, yeah, keep me by your side
When my faith grows weak, always let me see
Lord, something in my life, oh, that Thou hast done, oh, for me
