[Intro]
(Ñ
2)
[Verse]
Like clay in the potter s hands
Expanded or contracted at will.
So are we, so are we
in Your hands.
Like stone in the cutter s hands
Held tight or smashed at will
So are we, so are we
in Your hands.
[Chorus]
(first version)
In Your hands, in Your hands
We are resting in Your hands
In Your hands, in Your hands
Please have mercy on us. (extra strums)
So we sing and we pray
for a better day
And that You will bring us healing
with Your hands.
[Break]
[Verse]
Like glass in the blower s hands
Shaped or melted at will,
So are we, so are we
in Your hands.
Like cloth in the weaver s hands
Straightened or twisted at will
So are we, so are we
in Your hands.
[Chorus]
(2nd version)
In Your hands, in Your hands
We are resting in Your hands
In Your hands, in Your hands
Please have mercy on us. (extra strums)
So we look to the sky
(pause) and we cry,
Please hold us gently
in Your hands.
[Break 2]
[Chorus]
(3rd version)
In Your hands, in Your hands
We are resting in Your hands
In Your hands, in Your hands
Please have mercy on us. (extra strums)
Source of Life, Source of Death,
(pause) Source of every breath,
Please help us
with Your hands.
