When I was younger I wandered so far - far from the shelter of God's tender care
But I heard my dear mother's voice so clear she was singing the words she held so dear

He's holding my hand He's guiding my feet down thru the valley and o'er the mountain steep
There's one thing that I know He's always there to comfort my soul

Down thru the years time has passed by I stayed in His care and He's stayed by my side
But when I think back I still can hear mother singing those words so clear

He's holding my hand He's guiding my feet down thru the valley and o'er the mountain steep
There's one thing that I know He's always there to comfort my soul
