In His Care

I drew deep, 
deep inside 

The Lord had a plan for me 
I didn't work alone you see........ 
I drew deep inside 
I thought I had it all covered 
More things...... 
I discovered 

For, in his care 
He never let me out of his sight 
The day he looked after my wife 
The day she went under the knife 

I drew deep, 
deep inside 
This  emotion welling 
The story I am telling 

Things will be okay.... 
His hand............ 
On my shoulder 
Was always there 
My soul to bear............. 
On this day 

The faith inside 
The Lord knew........ 
I tried 
For,he looked after my wife.......... 
Gave back her life 

I drew deep, 
deep inside 
For, the times I had 
When things were bad 
He knew I tried 

I drew deep, 
deep inside 
My tears begin to seep 
The lord knew I tried 

I never left his care 
Two sets of foot prints 
I knew he was there 
how I have been walking since
