Carry My Life

22 May 2021  2:58

Carry my life day by day
From your hand may I never stray

You promiced in you precious book
That nothing can take me as to you I look

But temptations are strong and I am weak 
My heart starts to wander then my feet start to sink

Between the fingers of your strong hand
When in your palm is where I was told to stand

I see a wonder and I am enticed
A serpant of gold and eyes cold as ice

So strange to see a beauty to behold
Not realizing it is realy made of fools gold

I reached out to that serpant who whispered mystery
I soon felt his bite and my soul felt missery

Looking down between Gods fingers eternity I see
Dear God what have I done please help I'm falling between

I look up to you Jesus and I fell back into your hand
I crawled back into your palm and here I can stand

The bite is healed the poison is gone
My soul is not sick I am again strong

I am so grateful that you love me so
I love you to so please don't ever let go

Carry my life day by day 
And never from your palm may I stray
