Lightly In Your Hand

Lightly in Your Hand
Jim PIpkin BMI 1992

Lord give me strength
I'm just a worker on this land
Give me faith
Faith like an anchor in the wind
It's not for me to be a rich man
Building tall towers out of sand
Just keep me upright in the midst of those I love
And I'll rest lightly in Your hand

Lord give me truth
Help me to look it in the eye
Help me see the pride
That always comes before the lie
I'm a walking imperfection
I pray that you will understand
Just keep me upright in the midst of those I love
And I'll rest lightly in Your hand

And when I go
I want to leave strong work behind
Make amends
For all the times I've been unkind
When my eyes close for the last time
I want to know right where I stand
So when you take me from the midst of those I love
Lord, hold them lightly in Your hand

When my eyes close for the last time
I want to know right where I stand
So when you take me from the midst of those I love
Lord, hold them lightly in Your hand
