Rich Mullins

In Your Hands

"In Your hands I know he

Could be a man of peace

So take him now and lead him on

And though the world would try to tear him down

Only You can make him strong

Chains of doubt

And chains of hate

Never stop a man whose love is free

To sow the seeds of faith

All the despair of the darkest night

Can't keep his hope from turning this world

Toward the morning light

I know this world will never understand

Or return the love that he's been born to give

It's in the giving he receives

His pardon is in the pardoning

And in dying he's born again to live

In the sound of Your voice

He has finally found his joy

So shine through him and let him shine

With the light you lit within him

That shadows cannot bind

Chains of doubt

Chains of hate

Never stop a man whose love is free

To sow the seeds of faith

All the despair of the darkest night

Can't keep his hope from turning this world

Toward the morning light

I know this world will never understand

Or return the love that he's been born to give

It's in the giving he receives

His pardon is in the pardoning

And in dying he's born again to live

Chains of doubt

And chains of hate

Never stop a man whose love is free

To sow the seeds of faith

All the despair of the darkest night

Can't keep his hope from turning this world

Toward the morning light

I know this world will never understand

Or return the love that he's been born to give

It's in the giving he receives

His pardon is in the pardoning

And in dying he's born again to live

In Your hands

In Your hands"
