The same hands that fashioned mortal man From the cold, dry dirt of the earth The hands that hung the stars in place And gave the moon its light The same hands that reached To the lowest depths To pull me from my death Hands that lifted me Blind as I was To see over the darkness to light Gentle hands, powerful hands Hands of mercy and grace Hands that calm the wind and waves And made a blind man see Hands that feel the hurt inside And wipe away the tears Hands that were scarred and bleeding Because of man’s sinful soul Hands that understand and forgive And pull me closer in The same hands that judge the sin That clutters His beautiful world Are hands that reach, that guide and keep Each time I let go of the same hands |
The Same Hands |
