Verse 1:

I am resting in the hollow of his hand (of his hand),
I am resting in the hollow of his hand (of his hand).
He has seen the sparrow fall,
And he watches over all
As he holds me in the hollow of his hand.

Chorus:

Of his hand (of his hand),
Of his hand (of his hand).
He protects me in the hollow of his hand.
He can walk upon the wave,
He can make the coward brave,
And he lifts me in the hollow of his hand.

Verse 2:

I am resting in the hollow of his hand (of his hand),
I am resting in the hollow of his hand (of his hand).
Oh, the night is full of fear,
But my heart is full of cheer,
As he holds me in the hollow of his hand.

[Chorus]
