WHEN YOUR LIFE IS IN HIS HAND

"I am the Lord your God.I am holding your hand, so don't be afraid. I am here to help you". (Isaiah 41:13)

There's a Savior in His mercy, who has died at loves command.
Captive soul He longs to free you, His love you still withstand.
By His power He will destroy, Satan's works and give you joy.
And His peace without ally, When your life is in His hands

When your life is in Hand
When your life is in His Hand
There's peace and joy and blessing
When your life is in His hand

There's a friend who never changes, Friend to every child of man
Still the same thro endless ages, true to every tribe and clan.
Tho the powers of Hell assail, still Gods power will prevail.
He will never never fail, When your life is in His hand.

There's a guide who never falters, He your way has wisely planned.
Every step will bring you nearer, to that blessed promise land.
And whatever may be the tide, He is always there to guide.
Safely to the other side, When your life is in His hand.

As a small boy, often times when thought to be in danger, I would grasp my Dads hand. Afterward, when the perceived danger had passed, I would turn his hand loose to go my own way. Is this not what we sometimes do to our Heavenly Father? When we feel life's dangers, we hold to him. Then, when the life straightens up, we let go.

Not so, with our Heavenly Father. For He always holds to us and never lets go. Thus, this sermon in poetry.

Surely, as I have thought and planned, so shall it come to pass, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand
For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who can annul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back? (Is. 14:24-27)
