_ _ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] His hands, [D] tools of creation, _ [Dm] stronger than nations, power [E] without end.
And [Am] yet through them we find our [G] [D] truest friend.
_ [G] His [D] hands, sermons of kindness, [Dm] healing men's blindness, halting [A] years of [E] pain,
children [Am]
waiting to be held [D] again.
_ [C] His hands would [G] serve his whole life through, [C] showing [G] man what hands might [C] do,
giving [A] and forgiving [E] endlessly.
[D] _ _ [C] Each day was filled [G] with selflessness, [Am] and [B] I'll not [Em] rest till I make of [G] my hands
what [C] they could be, [Em] till these hands come [C] like [E] those from [G] Galilee. _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ His [G] _ hands, [D] lifting a leper, warming [Dm] a beggar, calling back [A] the [E] dead,
[Am] breaking bread, [D] five thousand fed. _
[G] His hands, [D] hushing contention, [Dm] pointing to heaven, ever [A] free of [E] sin,
then [Am] bidding man to [D] follow _ him.
[G] His hands would serve his whole life through, showing man what hands might [C] do,
giving, [A] ever giving [G] endlessly.
_ [D] _ _ [C]
Each day was filled [G] with selflessness, [Am] and [B] I'll not [Em] rest till I make [G] of my hands
[A] what they could be, [G] till these hands become [C] like those from [G] Galilee. _
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [B] _ _
His [F#] _ [Em] hands, [B] clasping agony, as [G] he lay [Em] pleading, bleeding [C#m] in the garden, _
[Am] while just moments away, _ [Bm] other [Em] hands betray him [Am] out of greed, [Bm] shameful [B] greed.
And then [Em] his hands [B] are trembling, _ [G] straining to carry the beam [A] that they've been nailed to.
[Am] As he stumbles through the streets, [Bm] heading [Em] for the hill on [C] which he'd [Am] die, he [E] would die.
[B] They [C] take his hand, _ [G] his mighty hand, _ [Am] gentle _ hand,
[E] _
[B] and then [Em] it appears, it _ [B] appears, _ [G] he lets them because [A] of love.
_ [C#] From [C] birth to death, [G] a selflessness, [A] and [B] clearly [Em] now I see him with his [G] hands calling [C#m] to [A] me.
_ [C#] And though [G] I'm not yet as I [D] would be, [G] he has shown me how [C] I could [D] be.
[G] I will make [Bm] my [Em] hands like [Am] those [C] from _ [D] Galilee. _
