Lyrics

[chorus]

Take my hand,

Take my hand

Hold on tight, I have you

Your life is in the palm of my hand

In the palm of my hand

[verse]

Take my hand and hold on tight

Don’t let go or you just might.

Get pulled away to the other side

Without even knowing or realize.

Now you can see,

the veil has been lifted

The scales of life

have already been tilted.

I’m carrying you somewhere safe,

Far away to a distance place.

Up, up away we go

Through the air we fly away.

In an instant my eyes behold

My story now begins to unfold.

A bright white light

glowing bright and shining

Looks to me like streets of gold

with silver linings.

[verse]

Seeing heaven

for the very first time

I realize now I’ll be fine

The angels have delivered me

to my final place

Where “Jesus” is,

with all his grace.

I’m carried through

the pearly gates

Gently lowered

to my heavenly place.

I can hear the most

beautiful singing

The bells in heaven

are all ringing

My ears have not heard

such beautiful sounds.

Angels,

Singing in harmony

not one note out of tune

Every voice singing all attune.

Announcing my arrival

upon entering the pearly gates.

Angels singing so gracefully

I’m so glad I have been faithful.

I see the Son of God,

Jesus Christ coming,

My father in Heaven,

Welcome me home

to my homecoming.

I fall down upon my knees

knowing I’m not worthy

Kneeling in front of Jesus.

Jesus says,

arise my good and

faithful servant.

Come now rest

and be with me forever

For today my son you

have been delivered.

[chorus]

Take my hand

Take my hand

Hold on tight, I have you

Your life is in the palm

of my hand

In the palm of my hand
