Merle Haggard's 'Where No One Stands Alone' is a heartfelt gospel song about human loneliness and the need for God's constant presence. The narrator describes feeling lost in darkness and crying out to God, asking Him not to hide His face. The chorus pleads for God to hold his hand through every hour and day, leading him to a place where he is never alone. Even if he had great riches, he says nothing is worse than being alone. The song expresses a simple, sincere trust in God's companionship and guidance through life's unknown journey.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low
In darkness as black as the sea
In my heart felt alone and I cried oh Lord
Don't hide your face from me.
Hold my hand all the way every hour every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand let me stand
Where no one stands alone.
Like a king I may live in a palace so fine
With great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing in this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone.
Hold my hand all the way every hour every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand let me stand
Where no one stands alone...
