[Verse 1]

You held my hand

Led me to the water

You pushed me in

I went under

[Chorus]

They were your firm hands

That made me falter

[Verse 2]

You held my hand

Led me to the altar

You wept for me

Lord, absolve her

[Chorus 2]

They were your weak hands

That made me stronger

[Verse 3]

You held my hand

And led me homeward

I looked for you

You were nowhere

[Outro]

Holding tight my hand

Was my own
