Leave It in God's Hands

1. Elections and economy 

bring frenzy to be sure.

Panic and commotion 

are the devil’s favorite lure.

Insecurity with things 

that once were so assured

cause such doubt about 

what we perceived was a SAFE world.

Scattered signs of candidates 

on lawns rudely obscure

the brightly colored autumn scenes 

where summer flowers once were.

2. People trying to convince 

their neighbors what is best

might resort to arguing 

as they pursue their quest.

Worried, worn, and frazzled, 

some don’t know what they should do

or how they can restore the PEACE 

and safety they once knew.

3. Let us cease from asking why, 

and then on bended knee

PRAY, and leave it in God’s hands, 

who knows best what should be.

Look at all the animals, 

and birds up in the sky.

They never fuss or worry, 

as they wander, swim, or fly.

But God supplies their needs, 

as with the lilies of the field

that do not toil or labor, 

and to God’s will always yield.

4. Do not tire yourself with things, 

that you cannot control.

Let God plan the future, 

as you watch His works unfold.

Then release your worries, 

all your tensions, and your fear.

RELAX within the arms of God, 

with faith that He is near.

5. Enjoy the masterpiece design 

He’s set before your eyes;

a kaleidoscope of color, 

upon earth and in the skies.

Then your calming spirit 

will influence those on earth.

It’s only then that peace will reign, 

and foster a rebirth.

RELEASE the burdens you are carrying, 

deep within your soul,

and place them in the Master’s hands, 

for He is in control!
