Into God’s Hands Into God’s hands He commended His Spirit Into God’s hands He laid all of his trust A spiritual Son of the one Great Creator A man born on earth is immortally thus Into the heavens His soul had ascended Unto the earth his pure image returned Deep in the hearts of the ones who believed Him The flames of redemption were silently burned Onto the pathway He led His disciples Into the forest He lays down His trail Etching His foot on a carpet of nature To cradle my step, so uncertain and frail For here’s where I’ll witness the glory of Jesus Among stately pillars of poplar and oak Wrapping my heart in the bosom of greenery Folding my essence in warmth of His cloak For into God’s hands He commended His spirit Into God’s hands He laid all of his trust That my foot will tread firmly into His sweet forest And lay down my soul at the hour of dusk Elizabeth Santos September 2, 2003 |

Etching His foot on a carpet of nature To cradle my step, so uncertain and frail For here’s where I’ll witness the glory of Jesus Among stately pillars of poplar and oak ~*~ I never think that once one puts themselves in His hands, that their steps are ever uncertain, again. Good morning, Lady Santos! |

First class poem. His hands are the only ones trustworthy enough for this kind of sacred care. |

Penned as only you could pen it. Oh, how these blue pages lose so much of their grace when you are absent from them. You are dearly missed dear friend. Love and Hugs, Ruth |
