In the Palm of Your Hand

















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
if i could have the world
if i could have the world and all it owns
