In the Palm Of His Hand
Let us take great courage in the love of our Lord

He came to earth and walked with the likes of...

Pink carnations for the piety, we need to show our Christ today...
Just sow flower seed aplenty, all across life's way.
Yellow roses for the sunshine, from Heaven He doth give to all...
And Blue azaleas' for the...
