With each passing day I am certain That I need my life in your hands This world that I cling to is never enough To bring me the joy that you can Words always fail in my trouble And my hands seem to lead me a stray But your sweet forgiveness is waiting for me It’s the reason for hope It’s the reason I’m free Take me, oh, Lord, in thy hands Make me a part of your plans Take me, oh, Lord, in thy hands So that I may find my rest In your strength, in your mercy In your love Please set my eyes on your glory And help keep my hope on the cross Never let me stray to far from your reach Never let your word be lost We call you the ring of all kings Mighty lord and prince of peace But more than all other names I call you Jesus The name that I cried and you came to save me Take me, oh, Lord, in thy hands Make me a part of your plans Take me, oh, Lord, in thy hands So that I may find my rest In your strength, in your mercy In your love With all of my voice I cry Jesus Please forgive this heart I held from you I’m weary from wasting my life on myself Take it and make it brand new Take me, oh, Lord, in thy hands Make me a part of your plans Take me, oh, Lord, in thy hands So that I may find my rest In your strength, in your mercy In your love
