Leaving it all in His hands – words and music by: Lance Appleton
This is an early recording from my dads Gateway College days 1969 or 1970. I can picture him in one of those great marble stairways making this recording (one of my favorite spots to sit and play when I was there). This is a great snapshot of his early music and the type of songwriting that influenced him.
Special thanks to Jeff Miller for taking a box of my dads old cassette tapes and and preserving these gems!
Leaving it all in His hands
words and music by: Lance Appleton
I met a stranger in the park today
he was carving crosses on the trees
I must have watched him for an hour or so
working up the nerve to speak
he told me how he had been born again
baptized in San Francisco bay
I asked him was is done in Jesus name
or was his pastor trinity
we let a jet pass then he answered
with a sheepish kind of grin
well I was really in a hurry he said
it was just me and a friend
and I know that Jesus will understand
I feel safe just leaving it all in his hands
something made me get my Bible out
Acts chapter 2 verse 38
we read it aloud underneath the streetlamp
cause the hour was getting late
and I know that Jesus will understand
can’t go wrong just leaving it all in His hands

Thinking of my Brother Lance, as i listened to this, and a couple other songs. Thanks so much Eric, for this ministry. It’s hard to explain the feeling i get, listening to Lances voice….I so miss you, Lance. I find my Refuge in the Lord. He’s gonna see me through…??
