Darren Winfield - Life in Your Hands Lyrics

In the beginning You breathed Your spirit
Into the dust life You did grant
Each soul a masterpiece Your image carried
In every heart Your life you plant
"You shall not murder" a command so solemn
A call to cherish what You've planned
Life in Your hands sacred and grand
Help us O Lord to understand
Each person's worth from birth to earth's end
Reflects Your love on this we depend
You knit us together each one unique
In the womb's shelter Your voice we seek
An awesome wonder this gift of life
A call to protect not to strife
From first heartbeat to final breath
In Your hands there's no death
Life in Your hands sacred and grand
Help us O Lord to understand
Each person's worth from birth to earth's end
Reflects Your love on this we depend
You knit us together each one unique
In the womb's shelter Your voice we seek
An awesome wonder this gift of life
A call to protect not to strife
From first heartbeat to final breath
In Your hands there's no death
Life in Your hands sacred and grand
Help us O Lord to understand
Each person's worth from birth to earth's end
Reflects Your love on this we depend
For in Your image we are made
In the tapestry of life intricately laid
Help us to see in each other's face
The beauty of Your grace
Let not anger hate or fear
Steal the life You hold so dear
Teach us to walk in the way of peace
In love and kindness let our lives increase
Each day a chance to uphold the sacred
In our actions let Your love be reflected
For in reverence of life we find
The heart of Your divine mind
Life in Your hands sacred and grand
Help us O Lord to understand
Each person's worth from birth to earth's end
Reflects Your love on this we depend
Life in Your hands a journey so vast
Guide us to cherish it from first to last
In every soul let Your love expand
For all life is held in Your mighty hands
