Time just drifts away And I look back on the years With memories of happiness and bitter tears Through it all there is a common thread Which cannot be ignored You were there making me to be your servant, Lord All along your hand has been guiding me Shaping my life to be a beautiful song All along you've led me through Things that you knew would make me strong Your love has been there all along Every joy and pain Had a reason of its own Now I realize that I was not alone The changing seasons of my life Were not left up to chance Lord, I know you were working to fulfill your plan All along your hand has been guiding me Shaping my life to be a beautiful song All along you've led me through Things that you knew would make me strong Your love has been there all along Tomorrow when I turn around And look back at today I will understand your purpose And my thankful heart will say All along your hand has been guiding me Shaping my life to be a beautiful song All along you've led me through Things that you knew would make me strong Your love has been there all along Your love has been there all along.
