Ain't No Power On Earth Can Tie Me Down

I'D RATHER BE IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND

"Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees"

If I could have the world and all it owns
A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones
If all the earth were mine to hold
With wealth my only goal

I'd spend my gold on selfish things
Without the love that Your life brings
Just a little bit more is all I'd need
'Til life was torn from me

I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand
Though rich or poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees
Your grace provides for me

If I should walk the streets no place to sleep
No faith in promises You keep
I'd have no way to buy my bread
With a bottle for my bed

But if I trust the One who died for me
Who shed His blood to set me free
If I live my life to trust in You
Your grace will see me through

I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand
Though rich or poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees

If I could have the world
If I could have the world and all it owns

Yeah....I Sure Am...

feeling good today.  Are you?

I sense a fresh wind blowing, a glorious dawning of hope. I see unfading glory on the horizon. Exciting expectation is in the air.

It's reminds me of the day I answered the knock at the door of my heart and found Jesus waiting to come into my life--to abide forever.  To dwell with me, and I with Him.  Everything was new.  Everything was brighter--the sky, the flowers, the eyes of my children.  Everything smelled better; honey tasted sweeter.  My husband's love proved invincible. Then, as now, I felt strength in my weakness.

My life was an absolute mess.  My health was not promising.  My marriage was in shambles.  Then came Jesus, and I was feeling good.  Just like today.  I pray you know the joy of the ever-present Savior in your heart and soul today.  I pray you rejoice in His grace, mercy and love.  Won't you join me in singing:
