  • repsonding to a comment below. i believe the song was written when his brother Bernie was diagnosed with cancer. Not positive though.

    Stan Ditmer is my uncle.

  • @anniewilltravel i agree, he will never!

  • I love this song and it never fails to lift my spirits when Im low or fighting some battle in my life, it reminds me that God will NEVER leave us nor forsake us no matter what, Im in His hands !

  • This is a great arrangement! It stays in my head and I love it!

    

  • Thanks for this arrangement Phil - i love it!!

  • Amen !!! praise the lord!

  • love this song!!!! his way does not always seem best but its right in the long run!!!!! makes me wanna cry this song

  • Many years later, when Commissioner Stanley Ditmer was about to be "Promoted to Glory" (a term The Army uses to refer to someone dying & going to heaven), Bernie Dake called me and asked if I knew the song. I didn't, so he sung the chorus to me over the phone. I went to the keyboard and penned this simple arrangement. I'm just as surprised as you are, @nightdmon, that it has been used as much as it has. :) Perhaps it's a testament to its message of comfort...

    Thanks for listening. God bless

  • :) Hey, to each his own. I agree the melody's not particularly memorable. :)

    The "story" behind the song goes back quite a ways. The original version by Stanley Ditmer (an officer in The Salvation Army) was written when he was a young man struggling with a pretty serious illness - I believe he was close to death at the time. He wrote "I'm In His Hands" during that time. The Lord healed him and he enjoyed a long life and ministry...
