Em                           G
   To see me through the daytime

Em                      G
   Through the long, lonely night

Em                     G
   Lead me through the darkness

    C           G
And on into the light

Em                        G
   Stand with me when I'm in trouble

Em                          G
   And help me through my strife

Em                   G
   At times get so uncertain

I turn to You, turn to You in my life
