Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To live each one for You alone
I can't stop the tick of time
But give You each moment of mine
My life is in Your hands, God
I'm trusting in Your plan, God
And when the way ahead seems dark
You're the peace that fills my heart
When I'm lost and hope is gone
You're the light that leads me on
When all around me falls apart
To You Lord, I trust my heart
My life is in Your hands, God
I'm trusting in Your plan, God
And when the way ahead seems dark
You're the peace that fills my heart
My life is in Your hands
My life is in Your hands, God
I'm trusting in Your plan, God
And when the way ahead seems dark
You're the peace that fills my heart
My life is in Your hands
I live, I breathe, because of You
Creator God, You make all things new
I live, I breathe, because of You
Creator God, You make all things new
I live, I breathe, because of You
Creator God, You make all things new
I live, I breathe, because of You
Creator God, Oh
My life is in Your hands, God
I'm trusting in Your plan, God
And when the way ahead seems dark
You're the peace that fills my heart
And when the way ahead seems dark
You're the peace that fills my heart
And when the way ahead seems dark
You're the peace that fills my heart
My life is in Your hands
In Your loving arms, I find peace, and rest, In Your loving arms
In Your loving arms, I find peace, and rest, In Your loving arms
In Your loving arms, I find peace, and rest, In Your loving arms
In Your loving arms, I find peace, and rest, In Your loving arms
In Your loving arms, I find peace, and rest, In Your loving arms
In Your loving arms, I find peace, and rest, In Your loving arms

Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time
They will tell you you can't sleep alone
In a strange place
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep
With somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep
In your own space
Either way it's okay
You wake up with yourself
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone
