Hand in my Back

Remembering the source.

Hand in my Back

I've felt the pure persuasive power of God,
a mighty hand placed squarely at my back
that gently pushes me to tread unshod.

He's sure and solid, taking up all slack,
reminding me He's here and He is strong
and I am not alone against the pack.

When I am lost and life is going wrong,
the earth beneath me shifts like desert sand.
It's then I seek to hear Him in a song
and feel His hand that seers me with His brand.
