Take my heart
Lord will you take my heart

In Your hands oh

To fall into the hands of God is to give him what troubles or worries us. The chaos within is for Jesus; so let us throw our crosses at Jesus feet. Jesus will bear our cross and set us free!!!
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that who ever believes shall be saved.
Only believe in Jesus and be healed. Picture your best self in the best place and now have faith you shall be there.
By Jesus stripes we are healed today and tomorrow. Have faith; the best future you can have today!!!!
Love you all; God bless you all
