Lyrics
Verse 1:
Everyday is not my own
To live each one for You alone
I can’t stop the tick of time
But give You each moment of mine
Chorus:
My life is in Your hands, God
I’m trusting in Your plan, God
And when the way ahead seems dark
You’re the peace that fills my heart
My life is in Your hands
Verse 2:
When I’m lost and hope is gone
You’re the light that leads me on
When all around me falls apart
To You Lord, I trust my heart
Bridge:
I live, I breathe, because of You
Creator God, You make all things new
Tag:
In Your loving arms, I find peace, and rest, In Your loving arms…
Behind the song
The unexpected death of a friend made me really stop and think about the fragility of life. It’s easy to take for granted waking up each morning, but when someone we know is suddenly taken from us, it brings home the reality that our lives can be changed in an instant. Those thoughts led me to write ‘My Life Is In Your Hands’.
Psalm 139 says ‘Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.’ How amazing is that? Our time on earth is not left to chance – we are alive because today we are written in God’s book and He isn’t finished with us yet. So as Paul says, ‘let us run with perseverance the race laid out before us’ for each day that we can.
