In the Palm of Your Hand

Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · Now That I've Found You-A Collection [Rounder] [1995]

(Ron Block)



If I could have the world and all it owns

A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones

If all the earth were mine to hold

With wealth my only goal.



I'd spend my gold on selfish things

Without the love that Your life brings

Just a little bit more is all I'd need

'Til life was torn from me.



I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand

Though rich or poor I may be

Faith can see right through the circumstance

Sees the forest in spite of the trees

Your grace provides for me.

If I should walk the streets no place to sleep

No faith in promises You keep

I'd have no way to buy my bread

With a bottle for my bed.



But if I trust the One who died for me

Who shed His blood to set me free

If I live my life to trust in You

Your grace will see me through.



I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand

Though rich or poor I may be

Faith can see right through the circumstance

Sees the forest in spite of the trees.

I'd rather be in the palm of your hand.

I'd rather be in the palm of your hand...
