—The Stanley Brothers
In our church house Sunday morning
Sat a man unwelcome there
Judged by men and not by Jesus
He lifted up his voice in prayer
Chorus:
Steer me on the righteous pathway
Help me humbly to abide
Hold me to thy precious bosom
Let me walk, Lord, by your side
Several silent moments followed
It seemed there's no one in the room
When a voice spoke like thunder
Said, "Look for Me, I'm coming soon.
Such a change I never witnessed
Tear-stained eyes were plainly showin'
As they gathered 'round the stranger
Sayin', "God bless you, you're welcome home."

(a.k.a. Let Me Walk, Lord, By Your Side)
