The Nail-Scarred Hand
B.B. McKinney, 1886-1952

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.
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.

Are you walking alone thro' 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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
