In Your Hands
You are my Lord!Humbly I bow
And place myself
In Your Hands now.
You've kept me safe
By Your great power
Through all my days
Up to this hour.
Now I commit
For good or ill
All that I am -
In Your Hands still!
Your perfect plan
Shall still unfold
As in Your Hands
My life You hold.
With perfect peace
My heart is blessed,
As in Your Hands
Serene I rest.
