In His Hands

My times are in Your hand:                The hard times and the good,                Abundant times and dry.                Through laughing and through grieving,                In singing and in silence,My times are in Your hand,                and there I rest. My times are in Your hand –                Secure and never failing,                Your hands faithfully prevail.                Though my heart may stammer,                You do not let me go.My times are in Your hand,                and there I rest. My times are in Your hand.                There mercy and provision,                Grace and strength and courage                Surround my human frailness,                And seep into my heart.My times are in Your hand,                and there I rest.

Psalm 31:15 – My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

Psalm 31:24 – Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the Lord.

Acts 1:7 – And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Romans 8:35 – Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. ³⁷ Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, ³⁹ Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
