Author: Michael Perry, 1942-1996 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #14 (1997) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Topics: Metrical Psalms Lyrics: 1 Safe in your hands, O God who made me,
what can there be that I should fear?
You are my light and my salvation;
strong is your help when foes are near.
2 This I have prayed and will seek after,
that I may walk with God each day;
then will you give me your protection;
no trouble shall my heart dismay.
3 God of my life, my help, my Saviour,
father and mother now to me:
come, shield me from the threat of evil,
lift up my soul and set me free!
4 Teach me your way and lead me onwards,
save me from those who do me wrong;
give me the grace to wait with patience;
help me to trust, hold firm, be strong. Scripture: Psalm 27:9-17 Languages: English Tune Title: SAFE IN THE HANDS
Safe in your hands, O God who made me
