Because You Held My Hand

You walked and talked with me
With words of love to say
Revealed God's precious words
And taught me how to pray

Your love endures forever
This I know and understand
I am free, a child of God
Because You have my hand

I know You watched and cared for me
Each day, that I could tell
Your arms were always there
Each time I slipped or fell

I will trust You day by day
Till I reach that promised land
Then I'll kneel and praise Your Name
Because You held my hand

I have felt the love of God
And I know this to be so
There's nothing about myself
Or my life You do not know

The very hairs upon my head
You know their every strand
I like You smiling down at me
Each time You held my hand

I know You watched and cared for me
Each day, that I could tell
Your arms were always there
Each time I slipped or fell

I will trust You day by day
Till I reach that promised land
Then I'll kneel and praise Your Name
Because You held my hand

As I read Your Holy Word
It was there that I could see
Your painful steps to Calvary
And the blood You shed for me

To be one of those victorious
On that sea of glass to stand
And praise the Name of Jesus
For again He'll hold my hand

I know You watched and cared for me
Each day, that I could tell
Your arms were always there
Each time I slipped or fell

I will trust You day by day
Till I reach that promised land
Then I'll kneel and praise Your Name
Because You held my hand

Then I'll kneel and praise Your Name
Because You held my hand
