LET GOD HANDLE = LIFE=20
 
(Prov.3:5,6; Gen.18:25; = Isa.54:17;=20
Matt.6:28,33; Rom.12:19) =
*
There's something that our Father loves
To do for me, for you.
(I mean, of course, our Heavenly one),
Here's what He loves to do:
He loves to handle life for us,
To take over control
Of life that sometimes can be rough,
And on us takes its toll.
 
It gives our Father pleasure when
We just allow Him to
Be in control of our life here,
On earth, oh, yes, it's true.
There's no one who's more capable
Of doing this, you know.
So perfectly He'll handle life
For us on earth below.
 
It is a scary thing, I know,
To give control to God.
It's hard to trust He'll do things right,
Because our thinking's flawed.
"Shall not the Judge of all the earth =
Do right?" the scriptures say.
Of course, He will, we know it's true;
So we can trust His way.
 
God is the only one who knows
What lies ahead of us,
And so He can direct our steps;
His guidance we can trust.
He knows what our tomorrow brings;
The future's in His hands.
He'll surely handle that for us;
He'll show us His great plans.
If it's our reputation that
We sometimes try to guard,
Controlling others' thoughts of us
Is a job that's so hard.
Our reputation, we should trust,
Into God's hands each day;
And let Him handle that for us,
For it is the best way.
 
If an injustice comes our way,
And we are tempted to
Get even with that unfair one
By what we say or do,
"Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,"
The Lord says, don't you know?
Our Lord will handle things like that;
He will deal with our foe.
 
Are we controlling other lives?
Or, at least, trying to?
Our girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse or friend,
There may be quite a few.
Just give up and release them now;
To God, just let them go.
Let's give up our dominion, please;
To playing god, say "No!"
 
The main thing that we should give up
Control of, in life, is:
The building of our righteousness,
Instead of trusting His.
"Their righteousness shall be of Me," =
God wants Christians to know.
If we seek first God's righteousness,
We will as lilies grow.

If we're the=20 one at the controls
Of our life every day,
Then God won't handle life for us,
As we go our own way.
He will not force us to let go,
A Gentleman He is.
There can't be two to take control;
It's either ours or His.
 
We never were designed by God
To take control of life.
That's sin, it's the original;
It cost us Paradise.
But letting go and letting God
Is something we can choose.
And if we do, we'll find that stress
Is all that we will lose.
 
It seems there is a power released
When we give up control;
Let God handle our life, I mean,
The one who loves our soul.
It opens up His plans for us
In ways we cannot see,
To bring about the miracles
Desired by you and me.
