A     D          A                    D        A

Well, early in the morning, about the break of day,

            C#m                    Bm7   E

I asked the Lord, "Help me find my way."

E7      D       A  D  A        D        A  D

Help me find my way---- to the promised land.

A    D      F#m                  B7

This lonely body needs a helping hand.

  F#m       A       F#m      C#m   E7   D  A  D  A

I asked the Lord to help me please find my way.

 

When the new day is dawning, now my head in prayer.

I pray to the Lord, "Won't you lead me there?"

Won't you guide me safely to the golden stair?

Won't you let this body your burden share?

I pray to the Lord won't you lead me please, lead me there?

 

When the judgment comes to find the world and shame

When the trumpet blows, won't you call my name?

When the thunder rolls and the heavens rain

When the sun turns black to never shine again

When the trumpet blows, won't you call me please, call my name?
