The Shadow of His Hand

The Shadow of His Hand

 

When I feel deprived

Of life’s so-called “riches”,

He helps me remember

I can pray, not have “wishes”.

 

When I lose my way

And circumstances seem to demand,

I know I’m still

In the shadow of His hand.

 

When pain floods me

Like a river running wild,

I know He’s here

Comforting His child.

 

When all falls apart

And my tears need somewhere to land,

I rest assured I am

In the shadow of His hand.

 

When all seems lost

And I feel threatened by life’s rain,

He is ever with me,

In the power of His Name.

 

When all goes right

And blessings store up like the beach sand,

I know I’m in His care

In the shadow of His hand.
