been a hand on my shoulder
since the day that I was born
All the chances that I've taken,
all the things that I've done wrong
Everything's gonna be all right
And I can drink from the cup
Of that life up in the sky
Now this hand on my shoulder
It might get a little colder
When I do more than I should do,
and if I do less than I ought to,
Jesus knows about it every time.
There's a hand on my shoulder,
you can't see it if you try
Givin' me the grace to get older,
I don't know the reason why
He has taken me by the hand
made the wrong things turn out
Now this hand on my shoulder
it might get a little colder
When I do more than I should
and if I do this then I ought to
Jesus knows about it every time
