Analysis of In Thy Hands



Seeing and believing,
...The world is thine,
In the hands of time

Seething and deceiving,
Love is lost
And bound to no avail,
...But found over a faith that prevails...,

Ages come and go,
But thy presence won't let me go,
...Lest I fall to be,
And rescues me from certain sea,

Your eye escapes me,
But not altogether,
...For you are just the one,
