In Your Hands

God, give me grace to trust you
When I cannot see the way.
The faith to place my hope in you
Though all around gives way

It is a gift and how I need
Your guidance and your care
Please help me Lord to trust in you
And not give in to fear.

Please, be my strength and confidence
Though I don’t understand
When nothing here makes any sense
I know you hold my hand

Lord, be my Advocate and Guide
Protect me as we go
Give my heart hope to realize
That I am not alone.

Let that truth shape reality
Though I don’t see your plan
E’en when I cannot hear your voice
Still you hold me in your hands.
