I Praise His Hands, They Are Scarred With Love

I.
Holy is He-
who is called by glory’s name, 
my Light and Salvation-
Since Easter morning, 
my life’s not the same, 
He’s the giver of peace 
in this world’s creation...
giving me a hopeful sensation.

Chorus:
I praise His hands,
for they are scarred with love-
Just like a white turtle dove,
created from the Heavens above-
Only He understands, 
what it’s like to be a man... 
oh, I praise His hands,
they are scarred with love. 

II.
Holy is His word-
it sings of acclimation,
exalting peace 
and truth to believers-
I’ve been saved,
from sin and condemnation, 
He is sincere
and a holy redeemer...
oh, my soul-
has never been cleaner.

Chorus:
I praise His hands,
for they are scarred with love-
Just like a white turtle dove 
from the Heavens above-
Only He understands, 
what it’s like to be a man... 
oh, I praise His hands,
they are scarred with love. 

Holy is His name!
My Life’s not the same-
Holy is His word!
May the truth be heard.
From the heavens above,
oh, I praise His hands...
for they are scarred with love. 

(Lyrics end in F-minor)
