The deep, rich tones that flowed from her voice stirred such longing within me. Kathy\u2019s vocal range fell within my own, so naturally, I wanted to sing Kathy\u2019s music.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The only song that ever entered my repertoire however was \u201cMy Life is in Your Hands.\u201d To be honest, if I was going to choose one of her songs, this was the one to choose! These lyrics became words I repeated over and over during some of my most difficult moments in life, as well as when things seemed to be going well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps you can relate to these lyrics. Maybe today is not going well or you know that difficulty awaits you. If that is the case, share those difficulties with Jesus. Even when we forget Jesus is with us, He is still there and wants to help you through these difficult moments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe today is a great day for you. Jesus is still with you and He would love for you to chat about what\u2019s right in your life. Let\u2019s not forget to spend time with Jesus when all is well in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When we surrender our lives to the One who loves us more than life itself, our lives are in good hands.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the lyrics of \u201cMy Life is in Your Hands\u201d and then click on the link below to listen to Kathy\u2019s beautiful voice as she lifts her heart to God.
