My Times Are In Your Hands

My times are in Your hands,
my God, I wish them there,
my life,
my hopes,
my every dream,
are completely in Your care.

My times are in Your hands,
to do what you must do,
my days,
my nights,
my entire tomorrows,
I give them all to You.

My times are in Your hands
in all that I do and say,
my thoughts,
my feelings,
my deepest desires,
are Yours to do what You may.

My times are in Your hands,
to mold as You seem right,
my love,
my faith,
my total trust,
are Yours to do as You might.

My times are in Your hands,
Dear Lord, I want them there,
my heart,
my mind,
my souls design,
are Yours to trim and pare.
