IN GOD’S HANDS

VERSE
He was still at his desk past quittin’ time
Man what a day he was don-dead tired
He’d just hung up the phone when someone walked in
It was the man for whom he worked
And he sat down in front of him
He said “I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But they’re closin’ us down and there’s no place for you
You’ve done a good job and oh, by the way
Clean out your desk you must leave right away
Good luck to you now, hey, it’s not so bad
I wish things were different but it’s out of my hands”
And as he walked thru the door
He turned to his boss and he said

CHORUS 1
“Because it’s in God’s hands
It’s always in God’s hands
And whatever happens now
Well that’s just His will
To a better place He’s calling me
It’s all part of His plan for me
How right you were when you said it’s out of your hands
Because it’s in God’s hands

SHORT INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
The family stood by the door outside
As the little boy slipped away inside
His sister knelt down by the foot of his bed
While his momma wiped her tears and kissed his sweet head
And his father cried “I’ve saved so many lives!
I’m a doctor; you’d think I could save my own child!
He’s only a baby and I’m and old man!
I’ll take his place right now if I can!
Oh how could this happen, I don’t understand!
I wish I could help but it’s out of my hands!”
And as he fell to his knees
His wife touched his face and she said

CHORUS 2
“You know he’s in God’s hands
Yes he’s in God’s hands
And whatever happens now
Well that’s just His will
To a better place He’s calling him
It’s all part of His plan for him
How right you were when you said it’s out of our hands
Because he’s in God’s hands

BRIDGE
For all the times we try and take control
Just have faith—and let go

CHORUS 3
“Because it’s in God’s hands
It’s always in God’s hands
And whatever happens now
Well that’s just His will
To a better place He’s calling us
It’s all part of His plan for us
And remember when you say it’s out of your hands
That’s when it’s in God’s hands
Yes is it’s in God’s hands
We’re always in God’s hands
