You Hold My World In Your Hands

[MIRIAM JACOB]

You Hold My World In Your Hands

This poem is based upon Psalm 139

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


You, My child are fearfully and wonderfully made

I knew you before you were born, even before

The earth’s foundations were laid

You are so precious in My sight

You, My child are priceless, you are more

Valuable than the greatest of treasure

My love for you is Eternal, it will never

Fail, it will continue to flow forever



I know when you sit, and when you rise

I know your every thought, and I have

Caught, and bottled every tear you’ve cried

I know everything you are going to say

Even before you start a sentence

There is nowhere you could hide from Me

Even in the darkness, you couldn’t escape My presence



I know everything about you, My child

I know what makes you sad, and

I know what makes you smile

I know what your dreams are

And the hidden desires, you hold inside your heart

I have a great future planned for you

And I long to bring those dreams and desires, to pass



I am the Father, which you have always longed for

In Me you have a Friend, now, and for evermore

I know your disappointments, your

Regrets, and your sorrows

But do not worry, because

I have forgiven your yesterdays

You have My mercy for today, and

I hold your tomorrows



I am walking right beside you, every single day

And no matter what happens, I will

Never leave you and walk away

You are My child, and your name is engraved

On the palm of my hand

Trust Me with your life, your loved ones

Trust Me, even when things are hard to understand



Surely goodness and mercy will follow you

All the days of your life

Live your every day knowing and believing

that you are the apple of My eye

As we journey through life together, My hand

Will always be in Yours

I will carry you when you are weak and

I will catch you if you stumble and fall



Nothing will happen today, or tomorrow

That isn’t in My perfect plan

Trust Me, My Child to hold your

Whole world in My hands

God can put His finger on our problems

If we would just learn to take our hands off them.
