Brother, as along life's way you go And you're burdened being below And your steps are growing slow beneath the load Let your saviour lend you a helping hand All you need to understand As you travel down this lonesome, long lonesome road. (Chorus) It's a lonesome road through this world of care As you travel long, seem to get nowhere Ask the blessed Lord to bear your heavy load He'll guide you on this lonesome, long lonesome road. When your dear friends have turned you down And the whole world seems to frown And old Satan tries to steal your crown with his code Trust in Jesus and I'm sure you'll find Him a leader, true and kind As you travel down this lonesome, long lonesome road.
