Father into your hands I commend my Spirit I seek to give my life to you You, who hold the universe together, holds me in the palm of your hand In your hands I find warmth and strength In your hands I know I am safe and secure Hold me and mold me into the man I'm called to be Speak to me and keep me and wrap me tight Bring me close to your chest and keep me safe through the night Touch my heart oh God and change me from within Wash over me, purify me and cleanse me from my sin Help me put my hand in your hand and walk by your side On passing earthly thing I have far too often relied You are my walking stick, the light before me, and staff to guide You are my legs when I am feeble and strength when I am weak Grab me when I stumble in the dark and reach out for your hand I seek With arms spread wide you reached across the world to bridge the great divide With arms outstretched you welcomed me to life with you And still sometimes I act like I haven't got a clue Always and forever in your loving arms I remain Even when I bind myself with all variety of shackles and chains Use my hands to pour forth your mercy and healing Grant me a joy and a glow that is all too appealing Let my hands and feet be extensions of your own In everything I say and do let your love and light be shown Bless my hands and let them bless Move my feet and help me to move Make wise my mind and let me share wisdom Fill my heart with love and let me live with all my heart Grant my soul peace and let me grant peace to all souls Let your Spirit settle upon me and may I be at rest in your Spirit Put your word on my lips and let my lips proclaim your word Set a song in my veins and may I be an instrument for your Glory You hold me in the palm of your hand, allow me to do the same for others Father I desire to give my whole life to your hands Into your hands I commend my spirit
