Album: In His Hands (2005)

Verse 1:
Even in the womb you knew my name
You set me apart
And called me your own
Even then you knew my destiny
You had a plan for my life
That would one day unfold
If only I would reach for you to show me the way
If only I could learn to seek your face and to pray

Chorus 1:
You kissed me with the breath of life
Embraced me with your holy light
You made the greatest sacrifice
You loved me, loved me
You taught me how to watch and pray
And found me when I went astray
You carried me along the way
You loved me, loved me Lord

Verse 2:
Through the years I know I’ve let you down
But I can sing of your grace
I once was lost but now I’m found
Still I stand amazed at how your love
Could make my own mistakes and worst regrets
Work together for my good
All those times I questioned why your face was hidden from me
It was then you taught me how to trust what I could not see

Chorus 2:
At times your ways seem strange to man
And I may not always understand
But I know my life is in your hands
You love me, love me
Enough to tell me no sometimes,
And make me wrestle in my mind
But through it all I’ve come to find
How much you love me Lord

Bridge:
And all along the way you were creating in me
The child of God you always knew I was destined to be
