Hand Clap Praise Raise

Hands to say hello
Hands to help love flow
Hands to decorate
Hands to liberate;
Hands to lift a load
Hands to traffic roads
Hands to rein a horse
Hands to steer a course;
Hands to pluck a chord
Hands to skill,applauds
Hands to care and nurse
Hands to write this verse.

Hand in worship raised
together clapped,in praise.
