In the Palm of your Hand   (Alison Krauss & Union Station) - STING 21810   (Thorsten Geppert)

 

 (Opener): CIRCLE LEFT:

If I could have the world - and all it owns
A thousand kingdoms - a thousand thrones
ALLEMANDE LEFT now TURN your PARTNER by the RIGHT

ALLEMANDE that Corner and WEAVE

I'd spend my gold on selfish things
SWING with your Girl and PROMENADE ‘round the ring

Just a little bit more is all I'd need - 'til life was torn from me

 

 (Figure): HEADS PROMENADE take her HALFWAY ‘round - Walk in and SQUARE THRU to FOUR

All the way now and a RIGHT AND LEFT THRU - VEER to the LEFT and FERRIS WHEEL once more

SQUARE THRU THREE - three quarter will do - SWING with your Girl and PROMENADE her too

Just a little bit more is all I'd need - 'til life was torn from me

 

 

 (Middle Break & Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

I'd rather be in the palm of your hand
Though rich or poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees – ALLEMANDE and WEAVE

But if I trust the One who died for me
Who shed His blood to set me free

Just a little bit more is all I'd need - 'til life was torn from me

                                                                                         

 

 (Tag): - 'til life was torn from me

 

 

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

 

If I could have the world and all it owns
A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones
If all the earth were mine to hold
With wealth my only goal

 

I'd spend my gold on selfish things
Without the love that Your life brings
Just a little bit more is all I'd need
'Til life was torn from me

 

I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand
Though rich or poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees


Your grace provides for me

 

If I should walk the streets no place to sleep
No faith in promises You keep
I'd have no way to buy my bread
With a bottle for my bed

 

But if I trust the One who died for me
Who shed His blood to set me free
If I live my life to trust in You
Your grace will see me through

 

I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand
Though rich or poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees
