In the Shadow of God’s Hand

1. “Worry not my little ones 

in all you say or do.

I have a future full of hope 

and JOY in store for you.

Why do you fret and worry 

over life’s uncertainties,

when I will grant you all you ask 

in prayer upon your knees?

I came to give you all you need 

to live life to the full,

and in return I only ask 

for you to seek my will.

Your spoken prayers are pleasing 

to my Father up above,

but even greater is the silent 

prayer of trust and love.

 

2. Picture the whole world 

securely held within my hand,

although your lives slip through 

an hourglass like grains of sand.

If you spend them worrying, 

about things great or small,

you will not take advantage of, 

my love and grace at all.

Don’t you know that I intended 

you to live in PEACE?

To possess this fully, you 

must let your worries cease.

 

3. Remember that I formed the world, 

with just one thought and breath,

and my almighty power prevails, 

over even death!

Whenever any future fears, 

intrude upon your mind,

you must deny them entrance 

if my peace you wish to find.

I came to earth and emptied out 

myself, for each of you,

so you would have such HOPE filled lives, 

in everything you do.

Think of me beside you, with 

a smile upon my face,

within my arms embracing, 

the entire human race.

 

4. Realize that I anoint the good, 

lukewarm, and bad,

whether they are proud or humble, 

weak, happy or sad.

I am in control of the 

entire world today,

with GUIDANCE helping 

all my children not to go astray.

Do not feel you have the world, 

upon your shoulders now.

Come, lift all your fears to me, 

and I will show you how.

 

5. Image in your mind the world 

a bubble light and free,

realizing how much lighter, 

it must be for me.

When you’ve reached eternity, 

you’ll finally understand

throughout your life I held you safe, 

within my loving hand.

Sheltered in its shadow, 

I PROTECTED you from sin,

and all that might have harmed you, 

like deception and chagrin.

Contemplate how lovely 

I intended life to be,

and realize that it will last 

for all eternity!”

 

“In the shadow of His hand 

He has hidden me.”  (Isaiah 49:2)

“The thief comes only to steal 

and kill and destroy.  I have come 

that they may have life, and have it 

to the full.”  John 10:10
