Dolly Parton - The Master's Hand Lyrics

In the days before the flood
The world grew wicked and corrupt
But Noah was a good man
And the Lord unto him came

He said to Noah
"Go build an ark"
Noah did and the sky got dark
And a great flood destroyed everything

Except for Noah and his wife
And their three sons and their wives
And a pair of every kind of creature
Walkin' in the land

And the people mocked
And they made fun
But old Noah worked till it was done
'Cause he was holding to the Master's hand

The Master's hand is always held out to us
And it will lead us to the promised land
And the evil of this world cannot outdo us
If we are holdin' to the Master's hand

Three Hebrew children in days of old
Were marched into the fiery coals
'Cause they would not deny the Lord
Would not obey command

And the furnace roared like a mighty storm
But the Hebrew children saw no harm
The flame was smothered by the Master's hand

The Hebrew children loved their God
And with them in the flames he trod
To show the world that he was King
And ruler over man

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Had no fear of the fiery coals
'Cause they were holdin' to the Master's hand

The Master's hand is always held out to us
And It will lead us to the promised land
And the evil of this world cannot outdo us
If we are holdin' to the Master's hand
If we are holdin' to the Master's hand
