In My Hour of Darkness

In my hour of darkness

In my time of need

Oh Lord, grant me vision

Oh Lord, grant me speed

Once I knew a young man

Went driving through the night

Miles and miles without a word

With just his high beam lights

Who'd have ever thought they'd build

Such a deadly Denver bend

To be so strong, to take so long

As it would 'til the end

In my hour of darkness

In my time of need

Oh Lord, grant me vision

Oh Lord, grant me speed

Another young man safely strummed

His silver string guitar

And he played to people everywhere

Some say he was a star

But he was just a country boy

His simple songs confess

And the music he had in him

So very few possess

In my hour of darkness

In my time of need

Oh Lord, grant me vision

Oh Lord, grant me speed

Then there was an old man

Kind and wise with age

And he read me just like a book

And he never missed a page

And I loved him like my father

And I loved him like my friend

And I knew his time would shortly come

But I did not know just when

In my hour of darkness

In my time of need

Oh Lord, grant me vision

Oh Lord, grant me speed

Oh Lord, grant me vision

Oh Lord, grant me speed
