The hand of the Lord rests securely
On the shoulder of those who believe;
It’s placed there the moment we receive Him
And remains there for eternity.
Not for merely a moment—
No, it rests there forevermore;
It’s placed there to guide and direct us,
To comfort us daily through storms.
When faced with a trial or temptation,
The doubting will turn into trust
If only we’ll pause to remember
The hand of the Lord rests on us.

The hand of our God is upon all those for good
who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are
against all those who forsake Him. (Ezra 8:22b)
