My Life Is In His Hands

Lord, I’ve been lying here awake With all these tears I cannot hide The weight of everything I’ve done Is tearing me apart inside My bones are aching, my soul is tired How long, O Lord, how long? I’ve tried to stand here on my own But I was never strong Hear me when I cry tonight Don’t leave me in this pain I’m reaching through the darkness, Lord Just calling out Your name My tears have soaked this bed of mine My heart’s too weak to stand Have mercy on this broken soul And take me by the hand Lord, don’t rebuke me in Your anger Don’t turn Your face away My soul is trembling in the silence I’m begging You to stay For in the grave who sings Your praise? Who calls upon Your name? Come rescue me with mercy, Lord And wash away my shame Hear me when I cry tonight Don’t leave me in this pain I’m reaching through the darkness, Lord Just calling out Your name My tears have soaked this bed of mine My heart’s too weak to stand Have mercy on this broken soul And take me by the hand And somewhere in the silence When I thought all hope was gone I felt Your mercy near me Like the breaking of the dawn You heard me when I cried that night You knew my every tear The darkness couldn’t hold me down For You were always near My sorrow turned to grateful praise My trembling heart can stand The Lord has heard my prayer tonight My life is in His hands Yes, the Lord has heard my prayer My life is in His hands
