He's the Hand on My Shoulder

My Child by David Bowman

He's the hand on my shoulder
When I need to know someone cares
He's the hand on my shoulder
Assuring me that He's always there.

He's the voice in the silence
That sounds so sweet and so clear
He's the voice in the silence
Telling me that He's always near.

So I don't ever have to worry
When things aren't going quite so smooth
Just as long as I put my trust in Him
He will always see me through.

He's the light in the darkness
Shining through to show me the way
He's the light in the darkness
Guiding me each step of the way.
