Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lord, lay Your hand on my shoulder
Guide me to our home
The sea, for all of its beauty
Is just the great unknown
[Verse 2]
My fear is like a passing breeze
And my faith is like a stone
[Chorus]
Lord, lay Your hand on my shoulder
And guide me to our home
[Verse 3]
I don't deserve the blessings You've showered over me
I've spent my whole life cradled by Your precious grace and majesty
[Chorus]
Lord, lay Your hand on my shoulder
And guide me to our home
[Verse 4]
My death is but a pittance and hardly my concern
This life is but a moment
To You I shall return
[Bridge]
Oh, my Father who art in Heaven
Now, Thy will be done
[Chorus]
Lord, lay Your hand on my shoulder
And guide me to our—
