His Hands
By Ross Vanhooser MD

Created by his glory the beginning of heaven and earth
Molded from the dust, Adam just the first
Prophets telling future, kings his willing subjects
All awaiting the promise, our saviour’s virgin birth
It was his hands it was his hands

His life our best example, His death our only hope
The promise of forgiveness a touch upon his cloak
The healing of our failings cleansed in just his voice
Leaves us understanding our hearts can make a choice
It was his life it was his life

Now in our darkest hours, despair at every turn
Sin and tragedy prevailing, escapes that lead to ruin
Somehow we find relief, with time a way to smile
Angels guide us through and teach us all the while
It is his gift it is his gift

Not quite understanding, yet trusting we will find
What is already given, waiting in his arms
Grace, peace, beauty, and unrelenting joy
Now I see what has been there, waiting all the while
It is his love, it is his love

The promise of a life that has an earthly end
Solved for all believers when he raised to walk again
A home for the forgiven and to those who will confess
The name of our redeemer, Jesus Christ of Nazareth
He is our hope, he is our hope

It was his hands it was his hands
It was his life it was his life
It is his gift it is his gift
It is his love it is his love
He is our hope, he is our hope
