In the Hand of the Lord
by Frances Drost

Album: Inside Things

On the dresser beside her bed
Sat a bowl filled with money she'd kept through the years
For times like these
Every penny she had she would set aside
So that one day she'd have enough to buy
Her children all that they'd need

AND THOUGH IT'S NOT MUCH
IT'S AMAZING HOW QUICKLY IT GROWS TO BE SOMETHING OF WORTH
IN THE HANDS OF ALMIGHTY
WHAT SEEMS TO BE TINY
WILL STRETCH NOW TO BE JUST ENOUGH
'CAUSE LITTLE CAN BE SO MUCH MORE WHEN IT'S ALL IN THE HANDS OF THE LORD

On the little red chair by the window he sits
He prays for his family
And names them one by one
There is little that he now is able to share
But he gives of time, his love and his prayer
And God knows that is enough

So do not despair
In the small things He's there
It will add up to be something great
