Into Your Hands - Hymn Lyrics

Refrain:
Into your hands we commend our spirits O Lord
Into your hands we commend our hearts
For we must die to ourselves in loving you
Into your hands we commend our love

1. O God, My God, Why have you gone from me
   Far from my prayers, far from my cry
   To you I call, but you never answer me
   You send no comfort and I don’t know why

2. O God, My God, Why have you gone from me
   Far from my prayers, far from my cry
   To you I call, but you never answer me
   You send no comfort and I don’t know why

3. Our fathers trusted and delivered them
   To you they cry, and they escaped
   In you they trusted when darkness came their way
   And in your goodness you made them free

4. You’ve been my guide since I was very young
   You showed the way when I needed someone’s hand
   But now I’m lonely, nobody is at my side
   Stay near my Lord, and be my friend
