Life in His Hand

Sometimes I go out on a dark and windy night. I see the moon's light and the shadow of the leaves and hear their rustling. I look at the stars and wonder. I feel so out of place. I am filled with longings that just hover over my soul. Not even able to name them. It's just a deep and mysterious ache for the ones I miss. The ones I long to see. The ones that are lost to me. It's a feeling that comes over me, sadness and yearning for what is missing, mixed with hope and wondering. I think of yesterday and I want to hold onto it. I keep pieces and treasure them and fit them together with hopes of what may someday be. There were people in my life that were so special and I don't know where they are. This song is the first song I have ever heard that matches the deep longings I have to someday find them. I heard it for the first time tonight and it goes out to those I've loved and can't be with. Maybe you can relate. Maybe you're missing someone - a close frie...

Lord I'm tired So tired from walking And Lord I'm so alone And Lord the dark Is creeping in Creeping up To swallow me I think I'll stop Rest here a while And didn't You see me cry'n? And didn't You hear me call Your name? Wasn't it You I gave my heart to? I wish You'd remember Where you set it down Chorus: And this is all that I can say right now And this is all that I can give Bridge: I didn't notice You were standing here I didn't know that That was You holding me I didn't notice You were cry'n too I didn't know that That was You washing my feet

If I could not hold a pen I would write of you on my heart instead You have bought me with Your blood  And I am painted red by Your love If I could not say a word My life would speak of love I don't deserve Hope means I'm holding onto you Grace means You're holding me too

I can't believe what people saying, You're gonna let your hair hang down, I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long, You're in the darker side of town. And when I'm ou...

                                                                                           Sometimes every one of us feels Like we’ll never be healed Sometimes  Sometimes every one of us aches Like we’ll never be saved Sometimes When we’ve given up Let your healing come When theres nothing left Let your healing come Til were risin up Let your healing come Where You go we will follow Where You go we will follow It’s Your love that we adore It’s like a sea without a shore We’re lost in You, We're lost in You It’s Your love that we adore It’s like a sea without a shore We’re lost in You, We're lost in You Sometimes Sometimes it’s like we'll never atone For all the love we've known  Sometimes like in a smile of a song When you feel it come Then that feeli...

He is jealous for me Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy When all of a sudden I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory And I realize just how beautiful you are  And how great your affections are for me                                                           We are His portion and He is our prize Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking So heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss And my heart turns violently inside of my chest I don't have time to maintain these regrets When I think about the way That He loves us Oh how He loves us
