In God's Pocket


Keep me in your pocket Lord

Just carry me around

Let arrows fly - they'll zip right by

While I'm here safe and sound


And if the water rises

I know I won't get wet

I'm safe in here, no flood

has come up to your pocket yet!


Keep me in your pocket

In the space next to your heart

And show me what you'd have me do

and how, and where to start


So others know they too can rest

inside your love and care

There's space enough for everyone

and room enough to share


For when the world seems crazy

and its troubles round us brew

We here inside your pocket

travel safely next to you
