In My Father's Hands

Susan Ashton



  D   Dsus   D   Dsus   D   Dsus   D  G/A

[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]

A	  G2	 D	A	G2    D	 G    A

Sometimes I get lost, sometimes I get oh so scared

	    G2		D	A    G2	    D  G  A

When these wires get crossed, somehow I end up nowhere

D/F#  G2			A		 D

But there is where I turn from what I sought to gain

     G2				    D/F#      A7	    D

And there is where I learn that I've only to call upon His name



Chorus:

		    G/D  A		 D

It's in my Father's hands and I have no fear

			G/D  A			  D

There's no point making plans when His hands can steer

G2		 D		 G2		 D

Why should I so small and frail, carry life's demands

     G2		      D	       G2	    D/F#     G2

When He can see where I might fail and where I might stand

D/A		     D

It's in my Father's hands



Sometimes we go wrong, sometimes we get one track minds

Thinking all alone that we can handle life just fine

But there is where we turn and find it's not to gain

And there is where we learn that we've only to call upon His name



CHORUS

  D    G/A   A7	 D	     G/A   A7  D

[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]



Why should I so small and frail, carry life's demands

When He can see where I might fail and where I might stand

It's in my Father's hands

In my Father's hands
