1943 in new york city she stood waiting for a train
She was young, blue-eyed and pretty
City looks - irish name
She lost her balance and fell on the tracks
When suddenly appeared a man
She was sure he was not there before
He was holding out his hand
Hand of God - lifting her up - leading her home
Hand of God - keeping her safe - she's never alone
She knew at that moment an angel's wing
Would carry her gently through anything
Now I understand she's holding the hand of God
She was married with a baby girl and another on the way
Warm and cozy in her little world
Until another fateful day
Just six months on and that baby's gonna come
A crisis she did not have planned
She said good-bye thinking she was gonna die
Then she felt a calming hand

Faith - steadfast and true
Knowing that God will be there sheltering you
Easter time in the evening of her life
Now cancer grows inside
She's been a mother, friend, a healer and a wife
We all stand at her bedside
The doctors say it can happen any day
The timing we could understand
The connection of Jesus' resurrection
Is when she reached out for His hand
