It's hard to stand
On shifting sand
It's hard to shine
In the shadows of the night
You can't be free
If you don't reach for help
And you can't love
If you don't love yourself
But there is hope when my faith runs out...
Cuz I'm in better hands now
Chorus:
It's like the sun is shining
When the rain is pourin' down
It's like my soul is flying
Though my feet are on the ground
So take this heart of mine
There's no doubt
I'm in better hands now
I am strong
All because of you
I stand in awe of
Every mountain that you move
I am changed
Yesterday is gone
I am safe
From this moment on...
And there's no fear when the night comes 'round
I'm in better hands now
Chorus
It's like the sun is shining
When the rain is pourin' down
It's like my soul is flying
Though my feet are on the ground
It's like the world is silent
Though I know it isn't true
It's like the breath of Jesus
Is right here in this room
So take this heart of mine
There's no doubt
You can't be saved
If you're not reaching out for help
(Jim Daddario, Thom Hardwell, Catt Gravitt)
Behind the Song:"This song was written for Ethan. During Thanksgiving of 2006, this precious little boy was at a bonfire at his grandparents’ farm when a spark caught his sweater vest on fire, burning 85% of his body. As a new mother, I can't fathom something happening to one of my babies. Some have outward scars and many have scars on their heart—scars we can't see—but there is One who sees, and when He looks at Ethan—and when He looks at us—He sees promise, and beauty, and destiny. There is no better place to be than in the hands of God as He is carrying each one of us." - Natalie Grant
