VERSE 1

5  -4 5      6  -5 5
Provi-dence, Provi-dence,

-6  6  6  -5  -5   5   6  5  -4
See it laying down the cornerstone.

-4  4    -4 5  -4 5      4  5 6 -5 5
The Hand of Provi-dence, I-ts e-vi-dent,

5   -6 6     6 -5  -5   5  6  5   -4
For we could never make it on our own.

6 -6 -6 -7   -7  7 -6
Apportioning the power,

-6   6   6   5    -4 5 5
Weighing all that it entails.

-6 -6   -7 -7  7  7
gi-ving us the fulcrum

-8  7 7 8     -8 7   7
And a balance to the scales.

Is guiding us through choices that we ma---ke.

Oh, the Ha--------nd of Provi-dence,


-7 7    6   -6  6  6    5  -4 4   4.
Is reaching out to help us on our way.


VERSE 2

5  -4 5      6 -5  5
Provi-dence, e-ver since

-6 6  6  -5  -5 5   6 5     -4
A--ny thesis e--ver entered man,

-4  4    -4 5  -4 5
The Hand of Provi-dence

4   5    6   6    -5 5
Has been our best de-fense

5       6   -6   6   6   -5    -5   5  6 5  -4
Though, His ways are sometimes hard to understand.

6    6   -6 -6  -7 -7 7    -6
From the dy-ing of a- heartbeat,

-6 6 6 5    -4   5 5
To a-nother soul reborn.

5    -6 -6 -7    -7  7  7 -8
From in be-tween and circling

7   7        8  -8   7   7
Our thoughts of love and war.
