In My Father's Hands
Embraced by Assurance: In My Father's Hands
Lyrics
Sometimes I get lost, sometimes I get oh so scared
Sometimes, the singer feels lost and scared.
When these wires get crossed, somehow I end up nowhere
Confusion arises, and despite efforts, the singer ends up feeling directionless.
But there is where I turn from what I sought to gain
The singer turns away from the pursuit of worldly gains.
And there is where I learn that I've only to call upon His name.
The realization occurs that calling upon God's name is the solution.
Chorus:
Chorus begins, emphasizing the security found in the hands of the Father.
It's in my Father's hands and I have no fear
The singer expresses confidence and fearlessness in being in God's hands.
There's no point making plans when His hands can steer
Planning becomes irrelevant when God is in control.
Why should I so small and frail, carry life's demands
Questioning the need to carry life's burdens when trusting in God's guidance.
When He can see where I might fail and where I might stand
God can foresee failure and success, making human efforts unnecessary.
It's in my Father's hands.
Reiteration of finding security in God's hands.
Sometimes we go wrong, sometimes we get one track minds
Acknowledging human fallibility and the tendency to narrow-mindedness.
Thinking all alone that we can handle life just fine
Belief in self-sufficiency is challenged; life cannot be handled alone.
But there is where we turn and find it's not to gain
Turning away from self-reliance, recognizing it leads to no true gain.
And there is where we learn that we've only to call upon His name.
Learning the importance of relying on God by calling upon His name.
Chorus:
Chorus reiterates the theme of finding security in God's hands.
It's in my Father's hands and I have no fear
Confidence in facing life without fear due to God's guidance.
There's no point making plans when His hands can steer
Planning is futile when God is the ultimate guide.
Why should I so small and frail, carry life's demands
Questioning the need to carry life's burdens independently.
When He can see where I might fail and where I might stand
God's ability to foresee outcomes makes human efforts unnecessary.
It's in my Father's hands.
Reiteration of finding security in God's hands.
Why should I so small and frail, carry life's demands
Repeating the questioning of carrying life's demands independently.
When He can see where I might fail and where I might stand
Emphasizing God's foresight in understanding failure and success.
It's in my Father's hands
Reiteration of the security found in God's hands.
In my Father's hands...
Final affirmation of being in the safety and guidance of God's hands.
