Keep your hand in the hand of the Lord,

and walk along that righteous way.

Keep your hand in the hand of the Lord,

and He will guide you, day by day.

Although the tempest round you blows,

and Satan tempts you to his way,

the Lord of all these things He knows,

for all we need to do is pray.

When friends depart and you're alone,

when life seems hard and tear drops fall,

just put your hand in the hand of the Lord.

For He's the greatest friend of all.

Those doubts you carry in your heart,

the problems that come to darken the day.

Just put your hand in the hand of the Lord,

and He will take your fears away.

Praise the Lord! for His wonderful grace.

Praise Him! Praise Him! With all thy might.

Put your hand in the hand of the Lord.

He knows for his children, what is right.

Lord love me gently for I fear

Your mighty power.

With one hand, a million stars

You could scatter like a shower.

Galaxies and planets abide by Your Law.

The beauty of Your handywork:

one stands back in awe!

And all this apart,

Your love for us is great!

Right from the beginning,

You sealed your children's fate.

Forever and ever, happiness supreme,

far outreaching the most wonderful dream.

There was a little mouse,

Who lived in God's house.

Because he was so small,

God made him ten feet tall.

Oh to be without fear!

To shed only a happy tear.

Oh lord! let me not stumble.

Under Thy mighty hand, let me

be humble.

Let fear never knock

On the door to my heart.

Though chastisement, be severe.

No matter what I do, think, or say,

please cover my sin,

and see that I'm right

on deliverance day.

Oh to be the child of a King!

With joy forever, your heart shall sing.

Over the mountains your spirit shall fly.

Tears of gladness your heart shall cry.

To know your Father is a King,

The ever living God of everything.

Just to know that this is true,

and that He loves you through, and through.

What earthly riches, doth compare

With the splendour way out there?

That your Father knows your mind,

To your feelings he's not blind.

Don't give up to the very end,

Even though your will shall bend.

He loves you son, remember this!

With Him you'll find eternal bliss.

Read the bible every day,

And while you do it, always pray.

Wisdom you will gain, and oh so free.

Your eyes will open,

and the truth you will see.

Your spirit one day will jump for joy;

you will feel like a very young girl or boy.

Remember, the bible is like a costly pearl.

Its wonders to you, God will unfurl.

To walk with You forever more,

to life everlasting, an open door.

Lead me through the dark,

to Thy voice, let me hark.

Oh to be without fear!

To feel thy God ever near.

Many trials and tribulations,

have let me see Thy revelations.

Lord banish fear from my heart,

may love take the leading part.

If to Your chosen people I belong,

then let my doubts all be wrong.

One day my spirit will fly to Thee,

then Thy splendour I shall see.

No longer bound to earthly things,

what joy to ones heart, Thy word it brings.

Oh Lord, in moments most bitter,

when I felt lost, and far from You,

Your hand caressed my beating heart,

then I felt no longer blue.

Forgive me Lord, when I travel the road

that leads to Satan's evil abode.

Deep in my heart, I know what's true.
