★ Song Lyrics / A Prayer that seems appropriate these days
I’m a huge, huge fan of Alison Krauss and Union Station. I truly believe that when it comes time to hear the voices of angels in heaven, it’ll sound a lot like Alison Krauss.
So this morning I was listening to some AKUS music, and I ran into this song again. It’s lovely tune, and you can download it at Amazon over here:
“Now That I’ve Found You: A Collection” (Alison Krauss)
“In The Palm Of Your Hand”
If I could have the world and all it owns
A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones
If all the earth were mine to hold
With wealth my only goalI’d spend my gold on selfish things
Without the love that Your life brings
Just a little bit more is all I’d need
‘Til life was torn from meI’d rather be in the palm of Your hand
Though rich or poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees
Your grace provides for meIf I should walk the streets no place to sleep
No faith in promises You keep
I’d have no way to buy my bread
With a bottle for my bedBut if I trust the One who died for me
Who shed His blood to set me free
If I live my life to trust in You
Your grace will see me throughI’d rather be in the palm of Your hand
Though rich or poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the treesIf I could have the world
If I could have the world and all it owns
Ah yes, one of the most beautiful voices of our generation. I listened to this song many times during my time in various parts of Africa. It never failed to encourage me.
Yeah, agreed Kai. great song!
