The State of Your Hands

Our hands are ours to use
so many things they can do
but the most important point
is the moral state of these two

God has declared His holiness
for His character is all things pure
showing His abhorrence of sin
as God is sinless to be sure

So our hands need be cleansed
no sign of sin in sight
before we can approach God almighty
for all our dirt need to be white

The need is to be washed
in the blood of Christ Jesus
being saved by His perfect sacrifice
believing fully in Jesus you must

Now you can lift up your hands
for they're now been made spotless
so God will accept them holy
now prayer is your promise
