Oh Lord, clutch me in the palm of your hand
Do not turn loose till I reach the promised land

Keep me close; never let go
That more of your love I might know

Oh lord, keep me in the palm of your hand
That with You, I might forever stand

Through trials and troubles of this life
Your presence has kept me from all strife

Clutch me tight, never let me go as I walk through the valley of death
Seeing that far offshore, I can't explain
Only then, with you, Heaven, can I claim
