In the Hollow of Thy Hand

My mom put this together.

Dear Lord, who blesses us with love,

Please send this day, thy spirit from above.

As this thy son, accepts a call from thee,

Help him we pray to learn humility.




Direct his footsteps everyday,

And keep him ever walking in thy ways.

Inspire him as he spreads the gospel plan.

Lord, hold him in the hollow of thy hand.







In the hollow of thy hand as he grows from boy to man,

Help his understanding deepen and increase.

In the hollow of thy hand as he grows from boy to man,

Let him know the special blessing of thy peace.








Dear Lord, who hears and answers prayers,

Please keep thy servant always in thy care.

As he prepares to teach his fellow men,

Oh, keep him safe and bring him home again.





Protect him from all worldly ways,

And always send thy spirit when he prays.

Give him the courage of a righteous man.

Just hold him in the hollow of thy hand.





In the hollow of thy hand as he grows from boy to man,

Help his understanding deepen and increase.

In the hollow of thy hand as he grows from boy to man,

Let him know the special blessing of thy peace.







As he faces life’s demands,

May he take a valiant stand.

Give him shelter in the hollow of thy hand.
