In this fearful world of sin and crime, my Jesus softly holds me,
We need to tell about His love to all, whom we know or see,
In His hand He holds me more secure, thanan anchor in the ocean,
He gives me all, and he deserves my sincere devotion.

I call to Him and He answers so clearly to my heart that I then wait,
To experience the sweetness of all that is good instead of hate,
He is Lord of all our universe, and in His hand He holds me,
So I may be more gracious of the Father, whom I shall one day see.

There is no need for fear, even unto death, as with the sparrow He is there,
And its this love I feel for Him that makes me kneel down in Prayer,
Who but He, would see us through all the troublesome tomorrow's,
And hold us in His hand, as he wipes away all hurt and sorrows?

He is with me always, He is the comfort who gives this soul of mine hope,
It is He who will ever be there to fill my soul with His love that I may cope,
With all the worldly things, that come into our lives each day,
It is He, my Savior, who hath come down and shown me the way.

I Pray for others to follow in His footsteps, let their souls be saved today,
As in his precious word He says that Jesus is the only true way,
None other whose name is upon this earth, or in our beloved land,
Can save, except Jesus, who holds my soul today, in His own hand.
