Analysis of Let me be thy hands
Paul weller 1965 (South bend indiana)
Let me be thy hands and feet Lord let me be thy heart
Strengthen me my Lord my all help me do my part
Hold close me Father God as I do your will
Help precious lord as I linger still
You know the measure of my faith Father I am yours
You know the path of my feet lead me through these doors
Help me know your will each day I look to you
To do what you command is all i want to do
This world is failing fast lord we need you now
Help us spread your love, dear lord show us how
For without your help my friend you know will not last
Our lives will be a mess we will fade away so fast
Dear friend I pray today lead me through this land
Help me Lord to carry on help me Lord to stand
Let my hands and feet Lord do thy will in me
I surrender all I am and I do it happily
