Jesus Take A Hold Lyrics - Kitty Wells

Like the ancient Roman empire this world is goin' to fall 

And it's much too bigger thing for mortal men 

Just take a look around and see the writing on the wall 

Somehow we've got to find a helping hand 

This world has never been in the awful shape it's in 

And people scorn the things our leaders do 

It's time the prayer was spoken from the heart of every man 

Jesus take a hold and lead us through 

The mighty roar of gunfire is now a local sound 

And our city streets are filled with angry men 

Love is now a mockery throughout our troubled land 

And destruction seems to be the current trend 

This world has never been in the awful shape it's in 

And our leaders seem in doubt of what to do 

It's time the prayer was spoken from the heart of every man 

Jesus take a hold and lead us through 

Jesus take a hold and lead us through
