God's Hands
God must use a billion ears to hear every request
God must dry a billion tears
by doing what is best
God must use a billion eyes to see a world of need
God must sew a billion tries
by growing any seed
God must use a billion lips to kiss a cut from falls
God must rock a billion hips
by dancing at the balls
God must use a billion hearts to love a lonesome soul
God must grip a billion parts
by reaching a fine goal
God must use a billion hands to give each one a gift
God must tap a billion bands
by playing for the lift
God must use a billion minds to invent better ways
God must test a billion finds
by sorting out a maze
