Tom Russell - Pilgrim Land
[Intro]
G G G G F C G G Eb G G D
[Verse 1]
As I travel through this pilgrim land
G D
There is a friend who walks with me
Leads me safely through the sinking sand
A
It is the Christ of Calvary
[Verse 2]
D
This would be my prayer dear lord each day
G D
To help me do the best I can
G D
For I need thy light to guide me day and night
A D
Blessed Jesus hold my hand
[Chorus]
G D
Jesus, hold my hand, I need thee every hour
A
Through this pilgrim land, protect me by thy power
D G D
Hear my feeble plea, oh lord, look down on me
G D
When I kneel in prayer, I hope to meet you there
A D
Blessed Jesus hold my hand
