Everything I thought was given to me
Everything I thought was mine
Now You're asking me to up and leave it all behind

Every little thing I held so precious
Every little thing so dear
Now You're asking me to leave it all right here

You hold my future
In the palm of Your hand
You whisper something
My heart can understand

Every time I turn around something's changing
Nothing ever stays the same
Hear it on a radio and see it on the TV screen

Everywhere I turn I see frightened faces
Clinging to a world spinning out of control
Send me and make me an instrument of Your peace

You hold my future
In the palm of Your hand
You whisper something
My heart can understand

Oh listen to my cry, listen to my heart beat
Bend down Your ear, my Savior nearer to me
I need you, need you, I need you here

Everything I've got was given to me
Everything that's Yours is mine
Am I really willing to leave it all behind

You hold my future
In the palm of Your hand
You whisper something
My heart can understand
My heart can understand
