Analysis of The Guiding Hand
When problems seemed to fill my life
I had a sense of fear,
That causes of my frequent strife
Would constantly be here.
Then one day I began to see
How God might make each day
More happy and secure for me
With Jesus as the Way!
So, I picked up my Bible and
I read to find the Truth,
Which I found with the Guiding Hand
I never knew in youth.
