(verse 1)
You don't have to worry
And don't you be afraid
Joy comes in the morning
Troubles they don't last always
For there's a friend named jesus
Who will wipe your tears away
And when your heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say

(chorus)
Oh, I know that I can make it
I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands
With jesus I can take it
With him I know I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands

(verse 2)
So when your tests and trials
May seem to get you down
And all your friends and loved ones
Are nowhere to be found
Remember there's a friend in jesus
Who will wipe your tears away
And when your heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say

Repeat chorus twice

My life is in your hands
My life is in your hands
My life is in your hands
