Lyrics
Into Your Hands
©2003 M.A. Petrarca
I go through the motions
I know all the words
I sit and listen to the scripture of the day
I think I know how to pray
Give me the strength to surrender
Fall down upon my knees
I’ve been trying to do it on my own
Make me your seed to be sown
CHORUS:
Father, into your hands I commit my spirit
Father, into your hands I place my life
You know the day
You know the hour
There is nothing beyond your power
So Father, into your hands I place my life
So when my faith is shaken
By the trials of the world
Do I run screaming into the cold, dark, night
Or do I remember how to pray
Help me understand surrender
Help me know how to be free
Help these blind eyes finally learn to see
The lesson you’ve prepared for me (CHORUS)
