Take my hand and lead me toward the Promised Land where you abide, this burning need to help subside. Astray I've been you recall, but the flesh is weak and bound to fall. With you is where I yearn to be. To have you near will comfort me. I'm reaching out to you, oh Lord. Take my hand and guide me home. My mind and heart are of one accord, I must come back to you, oh Lord. I must come back". - A Poem by Viola Resmini.
