Beatrice Boyle Poet Ode

His Hand Is On My Shoulder

His hand is On My Shoulder

Lord, I surrender myself to thee
You are the keeper of my soul
Help me to accept
What I cannot control

When things look darkest
As I walk this valley of fear
I remember your love
And know you are near

Lord, I know you’re testing me
But my faith in you is strong
Your hand is on my shoulder
You’ve been with me all along

You will not find me wanting
When at last this trial is through
I know your hand is on my shoulder
As I walk this path with you
