Those Hands by R. McGuire

THOSE HANDS

He came and lived,

as an example for all to see.

Then He hung upon a cross,

Laid down His life for you and me…


A prophet foretold it,

to help us understand

“Behold, I have inscribed you—

on the palms of My hands”…

Those hands that touched,

blind eyes to make them see.

Those hands that healed the lame,

He set the people free.

Those hands that held the child,

with tender, loving care

Those hands,

Whose nails of love—

held Him there...



He came and lived—

an example for all to see…

Then He hung upon a cross—

Laid down His life for you and me…
