Holding Hands

i held hands with God today
it was only a piece of metal
but God did it his way

riding down the highway
tears rolling down my face
something in my prayer
found Gods unfailing grace

i held it for a moment
knowing it would not be 
the last time
all these years of living
and this i finally find

i knew i could'nt keep it 
to myself
i have to share it with my friends
when you need a friend like God
try to hold him in your hand

try a bible, an arm on a chair
a tree branch, or a cane
when your in a prayerful spirit
calling out his name

it took this long 
for him to teach me this
maybe you can learn it 
in a day

if i can help you worship him
i can save your soul today
just remember when you take his hand
and use what ever words you use to pray

that he is always waiting
and he always cares
that he'll bend over backwards 
for someone who'll hold his hand
