Time just slips away, and as I look back on the years With memories of happiness and bitter tears, Through it all there is a common thread that cannot be ignored You were there, making me to be Your servant, Lord. All along Your hand has been guiding Me, making my life to be a beautiful 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 chance Lord, I know You were working to fulfill Your plan All along Your hand has been guiding Me, making 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, making 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.
