H is for Hand in Hand



Hand in Hand
Words by Gregg Metcalf
Music by Jenean Thomson Hockett

When I fail and it's more than I can bear
when my heart tells me there's no one to care
when the sun has set and the night takes command
by His presence He takes me by my hand

Every day I live the winds of fear assail
and I think I'm about to be lost in the gale
I run to the one that commands the wind
I'm not afraid He holds my hand once again

Chorus:

Hand in hand together we walk through the night
by His strength by His grace by His holy might
He takes me where there is peace by his demand
in His presence He takes me by my hand

Have you fallen in the race and lost your way
Is your night so dark you're afraid to pray?
let me tell you friend there's a light up ahead
don't be afraid there is nothing now to dread

Chorus:

Hand in hand together we walk through the night
by His strength by His grace by His holy might
He takes me where there is peace by his demand
in His presence He takes me by my hand

We need not hear a heart so weak and in despair
have joy give praise for there is one who cares
Yes it is true that oft today I might fail
but I know I'll never be lost in the gale

Chorus:

Hand in hand together we walk through the night
by His strength by His grace by His holy might
He takes me where there is peace by his demand
in His presence He takes me by my hand

In His presence He takes me by my hand

Thank you Lord, for taking my hand

This Gregg was wonderful to read.
