Hand of Providence

by Michael W. Smith & Wayne Kirkpatrick

on i 2 (EYE) (1988)



Providence, Providence

Se it laying down the cornerstone

The Hand of Providence - it's evident

For we could never make it on our own

Apportioning the power

Weighing all that it entails

Giving us the fulcrum

And a balance to the scales



Chorus:

Oh, the Hand of Providence

Is guiding us through choices that we make

Oh, the Hand of Providence

Is reaching out to help us on our way



Providence, ever since

Any thesis ever entered man

The Hand of Providence

Has been our best defense

Tho' his ways are sometimes hard to understand

From the dying of a heartbeat

To another soul reborn

From in between and circling

Our thoughts of love and war



Chorus
