Gentle hands was my father’s favorite song:
I am guided through the day by gentle hands
I am helped along the way by gentle hands
If I stumble and complain in the valley of the vain
I’ll be lifted up again by gentle hands
Gentle hands that lead me down the path where once my savior trod
I feel the love within my heart that only comes from God
I’ll follow in his footsteps as I walk that hollowed sod
To a haven where I’ll rest in gentle hands

Here's the first chourus, My Dad sang this quite often

I am guided through the day by Gentle Hands
I am helped along the way by Gentle Hands
If I stumble and Complain
In the valley of the vain
I'll be lifted up again by Gentle Hands

Gentle Hands that lead me down the path
Where once my Savior trod,
I feel the love within my heart
that only comes from God...
I'll follow in His footsteps
til I reach that hallowed sod
in a heaven where I'll rest in Gentle hands....

Every time I post something about Gentle Hands I remember something else. Gentle Hands starts out with the following:

I am guided through the day by Gentle Hands. That's the first line. Later comes this part:

Gentle Hands that lead me on the path where once my Savior trod, he gave to me a promise that only comes from God, I'll follow in His footsteps til I reach that (golden?) shore to a haven where I'm safe in Gentle Hands.

Maybe if I sleep on it I'll be able to fill in the blanks. In the meantime "Please" if anyone remembers the rest of it please post it. Thanks.

I just remembered something else about Gentle Hands. I wrote "He leads me to the promise" but that wasn't correct. It should be:

Gentle Hands that lead me on the path where once my Savior trod, He gave to me a promise that only comes from God. I'll follow in His footsteps til I reach that (golden?) shore to a haven where I'm safe in Gentle Hands.

I can't remember for sure if it's "golden" but I'm sure about everything else I wrote. Now if someone would only fill in the blanks for the rest of it.
