Isaiah 49:15-16 "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have
no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget,
I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my
hands; " (from the Hebrew - engraved - carved - cut into...WOW . This
adds a whole new dimension to "He's God the Whole World In His
Hands!)

Verse one
I heard a voice like no other calling out to me.
I turned around to discover someone I had never seen.
I had just one simple question
How do you know my name?
The answer He gave brought me to my knees
Now, I will never be the same.

Chorus
He said before you were born I knew you.
I have loved you all of your life.
I am as close as your breath -I smile when you smile
And I still have every tear you cried
I know you think that no one really cares
You feel abandoned by family and friends
But I KNOW your name and I will never forget
for it is carved in the palm of My hand..

Verse Two
There is a voice like no other calling out your name.
Why don't you turn and discover
why you will never be the same.
He asked you just one simple question
Why don't you come to Me?
Consider your answer very carefully -
it counts for all eternity.

Chorus
Before you were born He knew you.
He has loved you all of your life.
He is as close as your breath
He smiles when you smile
And He still has every tear you cried
He knows you think that no one really cares
You feel abandoned by family and friends
But He KNOWs your name and He will never forget
for it is carved in the palm of His hand.

Bridge
He's got the whole world in His hands,
He's got the whole wide world in His hands.
He's got the whole world in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.

Tag
He knows your name and He will never forget
For it is carved in the palm of His hand.
