Dolly Parton The Master's Hand lyrics

Verse 1
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, their three sons, and their wives,
and a pair of every kind of creature walking on the land.
Well the people mocked and they made fun.
But, Ole Noah worked until it was done.
Because he was holding to the Master's hand

Verse 2
Three Hebrew children in the days of old,
Were marched into the fiery coals.
Because they would not deny their Lord,
Would not obey command.

And the furnace roared like a mighty storm
But the Hebrew children they saw no harm.
The flame was smothered by the Masters' hand.
He Hebrew children loved their God
And with them into the flames he trod,
to show the world the he was King and ruler over men.
Shadrack, Meshack, and Abindgo had no fear of the fiery coals,
Because they were holding to the Master's hand

Chorus
The Masters' hand is always held out to us.
And it will lead us to the promised land.
The evils of this world can not out do us
If we keep holding to the Masters' hand.
