With His Hand on My Shoulder

(Marty Robbins)



With his hand on my shoulder

I sail this sea of sin

With his hand on my shoulder

I cannot help but win.



I'll follow as he pilots me

Through waters dark and cold

With His hand on my shoulder

I know I'll reach my goal.



My every hope is anchored

To the faith I have in him

I know I'll reach the shoreline

Though at times the lights are dim.



He'll take me past the rocky cliffs

From life's storm I'll be released

With his hand on my shoulder

I'll have everlasting peace.

Surrounded by an angry sea

That's made of hate and sin

But I won't sink as long as I

Won't let the waters in.



And with the help of God I know

I'll never lose my way

With his hand on my shoulder

I cannot go astray.



I have a home up in the sky

And he made it just for me

But to prove that I'll deserve this home

I have to sail this sea.



The waves of sin sometimes are high

And the spray might touch my clothes

With his hand on my shoulder

It will never touch my soul...
