Alison Krauss And Union Station – In The Palm Of Your Hand lyrics

(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.

--- Instrumental ---

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.

--- Instrumental ---

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