In the Palm of His Hand

He holds me in the palm of His hand 
My fear, He perfectly understands 
I understand, I am a work in progress 
It hurts, I feel like skipping the process 

He holds me in the palm of his hand 
He holds the sea in the hollow of His hand 
And measured heaven with a span 
For He has never ever failed to plan 

The One Who loves me is so close to hand 
And He has my name tattooed in His hand 
His hand had such a gracious large spread 
His comfort the valley of shadow I tread 

Like a Lamb led to the slaughter land 
A big nail struck through His hand 
His hand bleeding profusely 
Yet I took His love so loosely
