My times are in Your hands.

But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, "You are my God." My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors! 
Psalm 31:14-15


The words of an old hymn say it best:


My times are in Thy hand;
My God, I wish them there;
My life, my friends, my soul I leave
Entirely to Thy care.


My times are in Thy hand;
Whatever they may be;
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
As best may seem to Thee.


My times are in Thy hand;
Why should I doubt or fear?
My Father’s hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.


My times are in Thy hand,
Jesus, the crucified!
Those hands my cruel sins had pierced
Are now my guard and guide.


My times are in Thy hand,
I’ll always trust in Thee;
And, after death, at Thy right hand

I shall forever be.
