With his hand on my shoulder, I sail this sea of sin   With his hand on my shoulder, I cannot help but win   I'll follow as he pilots me through waters dark and cold   With His hand on my shoulder, I know, I'll reach my goal      My every hope is anchored to the faith I have in him   I know, I'll reach the shoreline though at times the lights are dim   He'll take me past the rocky cliffs from life's storm, I'll be released   With his hand on my shoulder, I'll have everlasting peace      Surrounded by an angry sea that's made of hate and sin   But I won't sink as long as I won't let the waters in   And with the help of God, I know, I'll never lose my way   With his hand on my shoulder, I cannot go astray      I have a home up in the sky and he made it just for me   But to prove that I'll desert this home I have to sail this sea   The waves of sin sometimes are high and the spray might touch my clothes   With his hand on my shoulder, it will never touch my soul
