A troubled friend came to me the other day

His life had not turned out like he'd planned

He asked me how I could be

Always at such peace

I told him Jesus had me wrapped up in his hands


He looked at me, his eyes full of sadness

He asked me how did I know

I looked into his eyes and said God never lies

And He told me so

Chorus

He's in my heart, He hears each beat

He's in my life thru eternity

Even though, now and again, I know I slip

He's by my side, and thru it all

Tho I might slip, I never fall

My Lord has got me firmly in His grip


He told me, I've got to find it at any price

Please tell me you'll help me with my task

I told him It was never lost

He could have it at no cost

All he ever had to do was ask


Chorus

He's in my heart, He hears each beat

He's in my life thru eternity

Even though, now and again, I know I slip

He's by my side, and thru it all

Tho I might slip, I never fall

My Lord has got me firmly in His grip


With tears in our eyes, we hit our knees

He said, I'm a sinner Lord,

Forgive me please
