Subject: ADD: In Jesus' Lap
Here's a piece I wrote awhile back; I'm going to think of it as Giac's song. Some people say the tune reminds them of "Sweet Hour of Prayer," although it's really 4/4.

Anyone else have a song to post for Giac?

IN JESUS' LAP
by Susan Hinton

CHORUS:
In Jesus' lap I love to lie
And lie there when I can.
In Jesus' lap where I was born
When to His lap I ran.

1. In Jesus' lap is always Truth
And truth in love is told.
In Jesus' lap is peace and life,
No story is too old.

2. To Jesus' lap will I return
When buffeted by storm.
To Jesus' lap my soul does fly
When cold heart I would warm.

3. From Jesus' lap I'll pray for you,
And bless you in your way.
From Jesus' lap, love, I can see you
Clearer every day.

4. In Jesus' lap, His loving arms
Encircle what He's won.
In Jesus' lap, oh! lay me down
When I my race have run.
