A Thought

Sometimes it takes me awhile to connect the dots. Ah well, I'm just glad when I actually do. :P

I was listening to this song today...repeatedly. I love how it sounds (what can I say, I'm a sucker for male duets...something about the blending of the two voices just gives me shivers), but the third or fourth time through I really began listening to the words.

As I thought about what it means to know that God has got my heart in His hands, I remember thinking to myself, 'What's the worst that can happen when God's holding me?'

And then I realized that when I live life in sync with Jesus there is no 'worst.' There might be difficult times, pain, suffering, but how bad is it really when 'the hands that hold the world are holding your heart'?

Anything I'm going through now is temporary, and as Paul said, nothing compared to the glory that awaits on the other side. In fact, if going through this life is what I have to do to reach Jesus at the end, it's definitely worth it.

It's nice to know that there isn't a 'worst.' :o)


"To the one who's dreams are falling all apart
And all you're left with is a tired and broken heart
I can tell by your eyes you think your on your own
but you're not all alone

Have you heard of the One who can calm the raging seas
Give sight to the blind, pull the lame up to their feet
With a love so strong He'll never let you go
No you're not alone

You will be safe in His arms
You will be safe in His arms
'Cause the hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made
He will be with You always
When everything is falling apart
You will be safe in His arms

Did you know that the voice that brings the dead to life
Is the very same voice that calls you to rise
So hear Him now He's calling you home
You will never be alone

You will be safe in His arms
You will be safe in His arms
'Cause the hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made
He will be with You always
When everything is falling apart
You will be safe in His arms

These are the hands that built the mountains
the hands that calm the seas
These are the arms that hold the heavens
they are holding you and me

These are hands that healed the leper
Pulled the lame up to their feet
These are the arms that were nailed to a cross
to break our chains and set us free

You will be safe in His arms
You will be safe in His arms
'Cause the hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made
He will be with You always
When everything is falling apart
You will be safe in His arms"
