In His Hands

Oh, I have been down the road

Plenty of twists and turns

Trying this and that

Dabble in those things

‘Experiment’ in the others

There is a panoply of ‘options' out there

But what is the end of it?

Do all roads lead to Rome?

Well, what is your definition of Rome?

If it is peace then the answer is clear

A deep, resounding “NO!!”

‘There are many ways to God!’

What a crock

No, The Man said it himself

“Narrow is the gate to life”

Man, is it narrow

Even those who want it find it elusive

And what about those who don’t?

The Disciples said it well:

“Who then can be saved”

But, oh I have been blessed

What a glorious journey I have walked

Thanks to Him

The countless miracles of salvation

Kept alive through so many dangers

Too many to count

And here I stand

Still kicking

Not by my power

Only Grace

Amazing Grace

Too great to describe

Oh Abba, how can I thank you

How great is your love for me

Ever will I sing of it

Penning it the best I know how

Your indescribable Beauty

Your matchless Grace

Overwhelming Love

Unfathomable Mercy

I love you, my God

I do not have the words

You have gifted me with words

But I am mute to describe it

Thank you, thank you, Abba

How can I say to you

The love that is in my heart

I know you will never lose me

For you are greater than all

And nothing can ever snatch me

From out of your Mighty Hand

For my King has bought me

With his very life’s blood

He owns me

Jealously he watches over me

And he will not give me up
