His Hands

His Hands calmed the waters.

Healed the sick and raised the dead.

His Hands fed thousands with two fish

and five small loaves of bread.

His Hands cast out devils

and caused the blind to see.

His Hands saved faithless Peter

from the sea of Galilee.

His Hands were clasped in prayer,

…there at Gethsemane,

as He prayed, “Father, be Thy will,

remove this cup from me.”

His Hands were placed upon a cross

and nails were driven through.

He said, “Forgive them Father,

for they know not what they do”.

Oh, dear God in heaven,

how can one repay

so great a sacrifice of love

our Savior gave that day?

When my spirit leaves this body,

and my soul returns to Thee;

May the Hands of my dear Savior

reach through the veil for me.
