Introduction:

“Jesus, Hold My Hand” is a powerful and moving gospel song recorded by the legendary country music singer, George Jones. Released in 2003 as part of his album “The Gospel Collection: George Jones Sings The Greatest Stories Ever Told,” the song showcases Jones’s signature emotional depth and vocal prowess, even as he ventures into the realm of gospel music.

The song’s lyrics, penned by Albert E. Brumley, express a heartfelt plea for divine guidance and protection.

The arrangement is simple and stripped-down, allowing the focus to remain on Jones’s vocals and the raw emotion of the lyrics.   “Jesus, Hold My Hand” has resonated with audiences beyond the traditional country music fan base. Its universal themes of faith, hope, and the search for meaning have made it a popular choice for gospel music enthusiasts as well. The song’s enduring appeal is a testament to the power of Jones’s voice and the timeless nature of its message.
