In His Hands
Tragedy strikes so suddenly
Changing all our plans;
More than ever we realize
Our lives are in His hands:
Hands - so strong and mighty,
Protect us day by day,
Guarding our hearts and minds
When troubles come our way.
Hands - so warm and loving,
Strengthen and give release,
In the midst of the raging battle
There's a deep settled peace.
Hands - so comforting and caring
Undergird in our darkest hour,
Carrying us through rough waters
As we rest in sovereign power.
Father, thank You for holding us securely
In Your strong omnipotent Hands;
Help us to submit completely
To Your perfect will and plans.
"The Lord is good, a strong hold
in the day of trouble;"
(Nahum 1:7)
