1. Have you failed in your plan of your storm-tossed life? Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand; Are you weary and worn from its toil and strife? Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
Refrain: Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand, Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand; He will keep to the end, He's your dearest friend, Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
2. Are you walking alone through the shadows dim? Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand; Christ will comfort your heart, put your trust in Him, Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
3. Would you follow the will of the risen Lord? Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand; Would you live in the light of His blessed Word? Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
4. Is your soul burdened down with its load of sin? Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand; Throw your heart open wide, let the Savior in, Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
