This is another one of my favorite gospel songs. So, I am arrogant here in trying to pen a second or extra verse(I knew of only one but yesterday, I heard what seemed to be 3 verses sung by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans in an old recording.). M. Jackson sings only one on a DVD I have of her. Anyway, if anyone is interested...Also, what has my home state of Georgia done or what does it plan to do to honor Thomas A. Dorsey, the composer of this gospel song and a native also of Georgia? Maybe Dorsey wasn't as great and famous as Ray Charles, but I daresay Charles would tell us he LEARNED from Dorsey!

Precious Lord, hear my plea
Let no harm come to me
Be my rock, be my shield,
Be my keep.
I've come back to the fold,
It is wealth more than gold.
Hear my plea, precious Lord,
Now I weep.
