In Your Hands

(Written in July of 2008)

As sleep relieved me of the day,

to an high mountain I was carried away.

The Spirit was to be my guide this night

and my Father's house was within my sight.

I entered in at the gate;

the steps before, began with faith.

Lead me by the way.

Walk with me each day.

Help me understand-

I'm in your hands.

The Savior met me at the door,

and I could hold my tears no more.

Wonder pierced my memory-

had I become all He asked me to be?

My heart cried out:

Lord, save me from my doubt!

Lead me by the way.

Walk with me each day.

Help me understand- 

I'm in your hands.

Have I served with a heart sincere?

Am I worthy to be standing here?

Did I let you down with life was tough?

Lord, did I give enough?

Lead me by the way.

Walk with me each day.

Help me understand-

I'm in your hands.

As I knelt with fear and trembling,

I felt His hands so soft and loving.

He took me in, and held me close;

'Child you already know...

Every hand you held 

and with each tear that fell,

Thou hast served me well'.

Lead me by the way.

Walk with me each day.

Help me understand-

I'm in your hands.

I'm Free

The sun comin up

o'er the mountains far.

Time to fill my cup-

ain't never felt like this before;

Like my spirit inside me

just won't let me be.

Oh it yearns to be free.

My heart is racing.

My eyes are opened.

For so long

I struggled to hold on.

Now deep inside me

I'm free!

Chasing dreams along the stream-

Oh I've never felt so clean.

No doubts. No fears.

Ain't got nothing but happy tears.

For the joy I feel now,

makes me wanna shout

my life is taking a new route!

My heart is racing.

My eyes are opened.

For so long

I struggled to hold on.

Now deep inside me

I'm free!

The stars up above,

they send a glimpse of Heaven's love;

and oh I can't get enough.

Ain't never going back to where I was;

trapped by the enemy,

darkness all around me.

But by God's light, now I see.

My heart is racing.

My eyes are opened.

For so long

I struggled to hold on.

Now deep inside me

I'm free!
