Held tightly in the mighty hands
Of the Sovereign Lord above,
Nothing can touch except it be
Filtered through fingers of love.
Whate'er I face 'tis by God's grace
And will work out for my good;
For trials that come to threaten me
Are so oft misunderstood.
My Sovereign God who's in control
Allows nothing to defeat,
But chooses trials that will strengthen me
And will make my life complete.
In faith my heart can trust the One
Whose sovereign plan is to bless,
For all must pass through loving hands
That protect me and caress.
With God's fingers wrapped around me,
I find comfort for my soul,
That nothing will ever harm me
While my God is in control.
This blessed truth much comfort brings
That I'm safe and so secure,
That whate'er storms may come my way
In God's hands I will endure.

With the exception of 1 year living in Boston, Mass.,and two years in Hanau, Germany, I have lived in the historic state of Virginia all my life. I now reside in the beautiful Roanoke Valley. Though raised in a Christian home, I was in my early 20’s before making a commitment of my life to Christ. Since then I have spent many years in full-time ministry. I am currently employed as an accountant with a Christian child care center in Roanoke and also serve as the Office Manager and Scheduling Coordinator for singer and songwriter Mary Rice Hopkins who resides in California.
