In Your Hands
She told me her son went off to war today,
with many tears in her eyes.
She tried to hide her feelings,
but I just knew it was tearing her up inside.
I didn't know the woman,
still I reached out and took her hand.
I know how she must have been feeling.
I have children of my own, therefore I understand.
I tried to comfort her the best way I could LORD.
I looked into her eyes and I told her about YOU.
I told her that YOU'RE in control.
Just pray to THE FATHER. HE will see your son through.
So LORD I pray that YOU'LL watch over him,
and all of the others fighting in distant lands.
Protect them, bring them all home safe.
LORD I'm leaving them IN YOUR HANDS!
