His Guiding Hand

I didn't spill no blood, didn't cut any skin
This bond, written in flesh, was arranged from within, yes it was
I'd give both my eyes and with my hands I'd part
Then I'd not be losing the love in my heart

I'm giving out thanks to my Lord
He moved me onward
I'm giving out thanks to my Lord
He moved me onward

Ashes and sackcloth made me weak and lean
Now they're down in dust cos they kept my heart unclean, oh yes
When I cast my face on the water, holding my heart in my mouth
My loving will return to you from east, west, north and south, oh yes

He put me in the spirit
He took the tooth by the jaw
He brought me to his feet
With his guiding hand

Ashes and sackcloth made me weak and lean, oh yes they did
Now they're down in dust cos they kept my heart unclean, oh yes
When I cast my face on the water, holding my heart in my mouth
My loving will return to you from east, west, north and south, oh yes

I'm giving out thanks to my Lord
He took the tooth by the jaw
He brought me to his feet
With his guiding hand
With his guiding hand
