Píseň: He's My Guide

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
The Two Sides Of Sam Cooke
There's one whom I know
 He loves me and so
 I’ve learnt and I will praise His holiness
 He’s with me everyday
 And He helps me along my way


 (He’s your guide) when I’m troubled
 (He’s your guide) when I’m burdened
 (He’s your guide) maybe so lonely
 (He’s your guide) maybe burdened
 (He’s your guide) yes, He is


 This world is not my home
 I’m only pa*sing by
 I’m going to a better land
 This is far beyond the sky
 My savior will be my guide
 And He will stay close by my side


 (He’s your guide) when I’m lonely
 (He’s your guide) when I’m troubled
 (He’s your guide) maybe so burdened
 (He’s your guide) maybe lonely
 (He’s your guide) maybe tired
 (He’s your guide) yes, He is


 I know I have a savior
 And I know He is my guide
 I know that He’ll stand by me
 He’s always by my side
 I can call him in the middle of night
 I know He will make my burdens lie


 (He’s your guide) when I’m lonely
 (He’s your guide) when I’m tired
 (He’s your guide) maybe burdened
 (He’s your guide) maybe so lonely
 (He’s your guide) when I’m friendless
 (He’s your guide) yes, He is


 So I’m gonna heaven
 I’m going there to stay
 What a happening
 When I see mother that day
 Sisters and brothers all there
 In that land so glade and fair


 (He’s your guide) when I’m burdened
 (He’s your guide) when I’m lonely
 (He’s your guide) when I’m burdened
 (He’s your guide) when I’m friendless
 (He’s your guide) yes, He is.
