The touch of Your hand

I was fascinated by your hands yesterday,
touching all those you met on your way.
Holding the hand of a child so tenderly.
Working hard to care for friends and family.

Those hands were the hands of the Lord.
They spoke more powerfully than any word,
and I saw sweet works of Jesus taking place
as you reached out to others with your embrace.

But then to my pleasure and my great joy
you reached out taking the hand of your boy.
Lifting my soul to such heavenly heights
and filling my heart with loving delights.

It was such a privilege to hold and be near
touching the hand of the one I love so dear.
I felt I was being held by the hand of the Lord
for such blessings can only come from God.

My dear — Grow old with me, my lovely wife.
We'll walk forward like this the rest of our life.
Hand in hand, step by step and day by day,
together with Jesus, let's walk His way.
