THERE'S A HAND THAT'S A WAITING

There's a hand reaching down by the pathway of light

That will guide you over life's way

That hand will lead you thru storm and strife

To the dawn of that beautiful day
***************************************************************

There's a hand there's a hand that's a waiting [yes waiting]

Waiting to carry you home
[carry you home]
There's a hand there's a hand that's a waiting [yes waiting]

Though many of the loved ones are gone
loved ones are gone
There's a hand [there's a hand] that's a waiting [yes waiting]

Waiting for sinners like you
[sinners like you]
Take that hand [take that hand] oh my brother [my brother]

And trade the old life for the new
[life for the new]
*****************************************************************

That hand is so strong it will lift you up high

Far above sin and despair

Tis hard to believe it is tender to touch

And filled with kind loving care
*****************************************************************

If all would rely on the strength of that hand

To lift them from life's troubled sea

There'd be little sorrow thru out this great land

Freedom for you and for me

I heard a re-run of Hee Haw; their quarter sung it.
