I often have people ask me “Why are you smiling, I would be devastated” or “You seem to be handling this remarkably well…”
I didn’t really know how to answer those questions, not because I didn’t know the answer- but because I didn’t know how to formulate the words so that they really see the bigger picture.
Until this song.
It’s hard to stand on shifting sand
It’s hard to shine in the shadows of the night
You can’t be free if you don’t reach for help
You cant love if you dont love yourself
There is hope when my faith runs out
Cause I’m in better hands now
It’s like the sun is shining when the rain is pouring down
It’s like my soul is flying though my feet are on the ground
So take this heart of mine there’s no doubt
I’m in better hands now
I am strong all because of you
I stand in awe of every mountain that you move
Oh I am changed, yesterday is gone
I am safe from this moment on
There’s no fear when the night comes ’round
I’m in better hands now
It’s like the sun is shining when the rain is pouring down
It’s like my soul is flying though my feet are on the ground
So take this heart of mine there’s no doubt
I’m in better hands now
It’s like the sun is shining when the rain is pouring down
It’s like my soul is flying though my feet are on the ground
Its like the world is silent though I know it isnt true
Its like the breath of Jesus is right here in this room
So take this heart of mine there’s no doubt
I’m in better hands now
I’m in better hands now
I’m in better hands now. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have fears, worries, or heartache… what it does mean is that now I have hands to lay all of those things in, knowing fully well that that is where they belong.
I’m safe, in His hands.
Wow. Great lyrics! And I’m joining you there…
Safe in His hands.
Amen, Heather, that song says it all.
Praying you are having a blessed week.
Hugs’N Prayers,
Norma

You always find such beautiful music to play in the background of life. It has taken me almost 20 years of serving the Lord to realize that I am, indeed, in His hands…It sure makes the challenges of life easier to face, doesn’t it?
Prayers and hugs…
And there you have it. you know whats great about it. I get to see every tear and every smile, everyday.
Oh, Heather, that is so beautiful. You do find some lovely songs! In His hands, the best place we can be.

And it brings a peace, an undeniable peace.
Heather,
What beautiful words to this song. You are in the best hands of all, and God has your future in His heart for you. He is carrying you through to higher ground in this time and your heart is so fully His. God bless this week for you and your family as you put your trust in Him.
Love you, Laurie in Ca.
Best place to be in His hands. Hugs and Prayers Kerry
Thanks Heather,
That lifted me.
I so love this song Heather….I heard it the other day on the radio for the first time and it simply brought tears to my eyes. We serve an amazing savior!!
God Bless you!
That is so funny. I read it somewhere else before but I loved reading it again.
That song does so explain how you can have joy even in the middle of the worst circumstances. Praise God for who he is and will always be! Mel
I read these lyrics here the other day. I heard the song yesterday and thought of you. I poured out my heart before the Lord. Not because you have cancer, or because of your family or any of the “usuals” but in praise that you have been trusted with an awesome view of what an amazing God we are loved by, and you have been given the words to share what you see. I pray for you and thank God that He has given you such a mighty ministry. I am sorry for your trials but I am thankful for your vision. I am not worthy to recieve such truths and I am honored to glean from you.
I was typing the lyrics of this song on Google and found your website. I just want you to know you are completely blessed and you have favor for you are child og the “King” I don’t know you but I Love you! Have a Wonderrful day sweetie!
Amazing where God takes us and who we might inspire from our daily experience. I think God has big plans for you Heather. Holding you up in prayer..Hugs Kerry
I’m so glad you know you’re in His hands.
this song is amazing isn’t it?? i have heard it twice on our christian radio station and decided to download the lyrics and found your blog. i have not read everything but i will be praying for you. cling to the words of this song and know that you are in better hands, HIS hands are amazing. may God carry you tenderly and may you feel His touch.
What a great inspiration you are! God is using you in a powerful way! I found your site while searching for the words to “In Better Hands Now”. I have a friend that is going through a divorce and I think of her every time I hear this song.
Love the UPS gripe sheet. Keep laughin!
This is such a beautiful song Gland to be in His Hands Now
This is a beautiful song. My brother just passed away from cancer and this song is going to be played at the funeral. Stay strong and you are in my prayers!
I heard this song the day before yesterday on the radio, and it touched me. I am a christian but have been out of church for a while now due to family issues. Well that particular day was the day of my friend Matts funeral. This song had just come on as we got in the car to leave the church, and it was just so ironic. While sitting in the church durring the funeral I had gotten upset with god wondering why he had taken someone who was such a great person at such an early age. I listened to this song and it just kind of hit me “hes in better hands now”. And I believe I was meant to hear this song that day, that it was meant to help in a helpless situation.
