His Hands

Rising early to seek the Lord, while he may be found I take a breath to cleanse my heart while the world keeps spinning ‘round As the sun peaks o’er the edge to wake from thoughtful sleep I find my own thoughts leaning to, and plunge in waters deep I think about the hands of God; the wounds he took for me The weight of that heavy cross he bore to set me free I think of his strong and sure embrace to comfort when I’m down How those hands lift me up and turn my every frown When sickness rears its ugly head, His hands are there to heal I know He’s with me when I pray, hands touch me when I kneel His hands are there to point the way; they’ve guided all along His hands, like a father should, correct me when I’m wrong When my very world is shaking, I know that Heaven stands When my anxious heart is breaking, I’ll not let go His hands.
