In Better Hands Now

Safely Home


I am home in Heaven, dear ones

Oh so happy and so bright

There is perfect joy and beauty

In this everlasting light

All the grief and pain are over

Every restless tossing passed

I am now at peace forever

Safely home in Heaven at last

Did you wonder how I so calmly

Trod the valley of the shade?

Ah but the love of God illumined

Every dark and fearful glade

And He came Himself to meet me

In the way so hard to tread

And with His arm to lean on

Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely

For I love you dearly still

Try to look beyond Earth's shadows

Pray to trust our Father's will

There is work still waiting for you

So you must not idly stand

Do it now while life remaineth

You shall rest in our Father's land

When the work is all completed

He will gently call you home

Oh the rapture of that meeting

Oh the joy to see you come!

In Better Hands Now


~Natalie Grant





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
'Cause I'm in better Hands now

It's like the sun is shining
When the rain is pouring 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
For 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

It's like the sun is shining
When the rain is pouring 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

It's like the sun is shining
When the rain is pouring 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
I'm in better Hands now
I'm in better Hands now
