Let 'IIie LoraCome In 'Ioaay
By Dr. C.L. Hannah
When your way gets so dark And you can't seem to cope He brightens your burden with a song of a lark Just to renew in Him your hope
Let His teachings brighten your way Lean on the Lord from day to day
When in doubt, let Him be your guide Only trust and in Him abide
Let the Lord come in today He'11 come in to stay
When in distress, in Him you can hide He won't forsake you; He'll walk by your side
If you don't believe what I say Let the Lord come in today.
