I posted this video on my other blog, but I wanted to include it here also. "His Hands" is one of my all time favorite songs. It serves as a good reminder of what our Savior Jesus Christ did and suffered for each of us. He suffered because of His love for each of us. I KNOW that He loves me. I KNOW that He loves you.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
"His Hands" lyrics (by Kenneth Cope)
his hands
tools of creation
stronger than nations
power without end
and yet through them we find our truest friend
his hands
sermons of kindness
healing men's blindness
halting years of pain
children waiting to be held again
his hands would serve his whole life though
showing man what hands might do
giving, ever giving, endlessly
each day was filled with selflessness
and i'll not rest until i make up my hands what they could be
'til these hands become like those from galilee
his hands
lifting a leper
warming a beggar
calling back the dead
breaking bread, five thousand fed
his hands
hushing contention
pointing to heaven
ever free of sin
then bidding man to follow him
his hands would serve his whole life though
showing man what hands might do
giving, ever giving, endlessly
each day was filled with selflessness
and i'll not rest until i make up my hands what they could be
'til these hands become like those from galilee
his hands
clasped in agony
as he he lay pleading, bleeding in the garden
while just moments away
other hands betray him
out of greed, shameful greed
and then his hands
are trembling
straining to carry the beam that they've been led to
as he stumbles through the streets
heading towards the hill on which he died
he would die
they take his hands, his mighty hands, those gentle hands
and then they pierce them, they pierce them
he lets them, because of love
from birth to death was selflessness
and clearly now i see him with his hands
calling to me
and though i'm not yet as i would be
he has shown me how i could be
i will make my hands like those from galilee

I LOVE this song too - I often sing it when I am driving in the car - just because it will be one of those favorites of mine that just pops into my mind when everything is quiet.
Thanks for posting it here!! I always cry when I hear it, but it does remind me that He love me and I can do more and be a better person. Thanks!! Annalee
This has always been one of my favorite songs as well. I can never get through listening to it without crying. It always makes me think how desperately I need my Savior and how I want so badly to repay him for everything he has done for me. Thanks Crissie for this post.
