In the Palms of My Hands

In a world of desolation
Where hope is hard to find,
Hear the words of a loving Father
Whose compassion is ever true:
“Can a mother forget her baby?
Is all compassion gone?
If ever it is so, listen and know
That I will not forget you!”

CHORUS:
“I have engraved you on the palms of my hands,
The very palms of my hands.
There you will be for all eternity –
A constant reminder of my promise to you.
I have engraved you on the palms of my hands,
The tender palms of my hands.
Nothing will erase the image that I trace.
You are ever in the palms of my hands.”

In a world of disappointment
Where friends may let you down,
Hear the words of a loving Savior
Whose promise is ever new:
“A friend may yet forsake you
And leave you on your own;
But if ever it is so, listen and know
That I will not forsake you!”

CHORUS

My Shepherd

The Lord has led me in pleasant pastures.
He has led me by quiet streams;
Over mountains and thru dark valleys,
Where death’s shadow smothered my dreams.
But as He leads me, He restores me,
Brings sweet comfort to my soul.
I will follow; I will follow.
I will follow Him forever to the heavenly goal.

The Lord has led me in paths of rightness.
He has led me to tables grand
Where I’ve feasted on His provision,
Tho’ surrounded by Satan’s band.
So as He leads me to the future
I will fear not, for I know
That His goodness and His mercy
Will follow me forever, wherever I go.

Blessed Shepherd! Faithful Shepherd!
He is more than life to me!
I will follow; I will follow.
I will follow my dear Shepherd as on we go.

Just As I Am

Just as I am, Lord, without a plea
Except Thy blood shed for me.
As Thou dost call me to Calvary,
O Lamb of God, I come to Thee.

Just as I am, Lord, poor, wretched, blind.
Sight, riches, healing of the mind –
Yes all I need in Thee I find.
O Lamb of God, I come to Thee.

O Lamb of God, the living Way,
I come to Thee, Thy will obey.
Forgive my sins, Lord, I humbly pray.
O Lamb of God, I come.

Just as I am, Lord, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve.
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, dear Lamb of God,
O Lamb of God, I come to Thee.

Listening

Lord, I long to hear Your still, small voice
Speaking to me.
Lord, I need to make a very difficult choice.
I’m listening quietly.

Please, Lord, I need You;
Indeed You are wise.
So whisper Your will to me
And make that will my prize.

Lord, I long to hear Your still, small voice
Speaking to me.
Lord, I need to make a very difficult choice.
I’m listening quietly.

But my ears are dull,
And my eyes are dim.
The battle has taken its toll.
My strength is nearly gone,
Lord, I need You
To lead me to the goal.

Lord, I long to hear Your still, small voice
Speaking to me.
Lord, I need to make a very difficult choice.
I’m listening, listening,
Lord, please open my ears a little wider;
I’m listening, listening,
Listening to You.

Teach Me, Lord

Teach me, Lord, to walk in Your ways.
O teach me, Lord, to hear the things You say;
And teach me, Lord, to gladly obey Your will.

Use me, Lord, I humbly pray.
O use me, Lord, as Your vessel of clay.
Please use me, Lord, to patiently convey
Your love ev’ryday.

Only then will I be satisfied.
Only then will I be free from pride.
You are my King, my Lord and my Guide.
Please show me the way to go.

O teach me, Lord, to walk in Your way.
O teach me, Lord, to hear the things You say;
And teach me, Lord, to gladly obey Your will.

Use me, Lord, I humbly pray.
O use me, Lord, as Your vessel of clay.
Please use me, Lord, to patiently convey
In all I do and say,
To faithfully convey Your love.

Through Your Power

Lord, I’m overwhelmed by weakness.
Sin and failure pull me down.
But Lord, You have promised the power
To rise up and win the crown of vict’ry!

Through Your power my spirit will be free.
Through Your power I will be all that I should be.
Through Your power I will serve You faithfully,
Through Your power, and Yours alone!

Let me be controlled by Your Spirit
As I live and learn each day.
For Lord, You have promised Your power.
In all that I do and say, please use me.

Through Your power my spirit will be free.
Through Your power I will be all that I should be.
Through Your power I will serve You faithfully,
Through Your power, Your mighty power,
Through Your power, Your awesome power!
Through Your power and Yours alone!
