He’s Got the Whole World
in His Hands
in His Hands
by Dean Burkey
Whenever people sing “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands”, especially when everyone’s clapping, I like to say: “Here’s hoping He doesn’t clap along.”
After the Fall, when Eve started to nag, did Adam ask God, “Dear Lord, can I have my rib back?”
Or maybe: “I’ve got another rib I can spare, what else You got?”
Is that where we get the phrase: “Spare ribs”?
And poor Eve. She was stuck with Adam. With no one else around, she couldn’t explore any other options.
Flawed as he was though, he was still better than a flea-ridden orangutan.
If only for lack of Febreze and breath mints.
It’s not like she needed him to move a piano or change a tire.
While Adam’s gardening all day, Eve stays home and plays Suzie Cavemaker.
And this was long before handy dandy vacuum cleaners and Easy Bake Ovens.
Adam was no picnic either. He’d come home from a hard day of tilling the ground and gripe about whatever Eve prepared. “Apple Fritters again?!”
Eve would roll her eyes and sigh, upset that he hadn’t noticed her new fig-leaf apron. “Oh sure, now you won’t eat the apple!”
