Ginny Owens - The Hand Lyrics
I hear a blind man, asking where this road goesBut we won't tell him, we just stop to block his way with stonesI watched a woman, overtaken by diseaseWe fell upon her suffering, instead of offering the cure she needsMy heart is heavy as I see what we've becomeHow quickly we forget what we've been rescued fromIf not for the hand that leads usWe too would roam in the darknessIf not for the hand that heals usWe would live in painOur hands have power, they can harm and they can healWe raise them in praise and honorWe use them to stone and stealWith his two hands, one that rescued historySaid he came for the sick and sightlessHe said that was you and meIf not for the hand that leads usWe too would roam in the darknessIf not for the hand that heals usWe would live in painBut still we keep our distanceCaught up in our false pretensesOnly by the hand have we been changedCompelled by the gracious hand that chose to change this life for usWon't we choose to use our hands to give the world his love?If not for the hand that leads usWe too would roam in the darknessIf not for the hand that heals usWe would live in painBut still we keep our distanceCaught up in our false pretensesOnly by the hand have we been changedHave we been changed
