Rocked in the Cradle of God's love by His own hand. Sometimes you just want to look up and say THANK YOU.

lyrics

Rocked In the Cradle – words and music by Darrell Elmer Rodgers

Through my life I’ve stumbled and I’ve often fallen down
Many a time, I find that I’m starin’ at cold ground
Cursed every rock and stone that tripped me on my way
But I can tell, I only fell, when I chose to stray

And I’ve been Rocked in the Cradle of God’s love by His own hand.
Rocked in the Cradle of God’s love by His own hand
Took a painful lifetime for me to understand,
I’ve been Rocked in the Cradle of God’s love by His own hand

Momma tried to warn me, Son that stove’s hot stay away
Being prone to foolishness, you know I just had to play
Been burned so many times by my rebellious fun
I’m grateful to the good Lord that I could not reach the sun

And I’ve been Rocked in the Cradle of God’s love by His own hand.
Rocked in the Cradle of God’s love by His own hand
Took a painful lifetime for me to understand,
I’ve been Rocked in the Cradle of God’s love by His own hand

I know sometimes it seems that God has punished you
You know protection sure can feel the same way too
Look back in wonder at how God has guarded you
His love is why you can testify, You’ve been Rocked in the Cradle too

And I’ve been Rocked in the Cradle of God’s love by His own hand.
Rocked in the Cradle of God’s love by His own hand
Took a painful lifetime for me to understand,
I’ve been Rocked in the Cradle of God’s love by His own hand

Rocked in the Cradle of God’s love by His own hand.
Rocked in the Cradle of God’s love by His own hand
Took a painful lifetime but now I understand,
I’ve been Rocked in the Cradle of God’s love by His own hand
