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
