Hands so tender
yet oft so strong
You hold the little children
All the day long
Who is this Christ?
The one who calms the seas
Quieting our raging hearts
Bringing us back to Thee
Oh that we would be in His arms
What a comfort that would be
Resting in the Savior’s love
Forgetting all but He
Christ carried the burden of the cross
Holding the mighty weight of sin
Inviting every man and woman
To accept grace within
When God touches our hearts
We feel him by our side
Walking with us step by step
Matching every stride
If we could just close our eyes
And dwell on on our Father’s love
Our days would be forever changed
When we focus on above
Our final cry will bring us to rest
And take us to heavenly lands
Oh the sweetness we’ll soon sing
Back in His tender hands
