The Hand Lyrics

The Hand lyrics

I hear a blind man, asking where this road goes

But we won't tell him, we just stop to block his way with stones

I watched a woman, overtaken by disease

We fell upon her suffering, instead of offering the cure she needs

My heart is heavy as I see what we've become

How quickly we forget what we've been rescued from



If not for the hand that leads us

We too would roam in the darkness

If not for the hand that heals us

We would live in pain



Our hands have power, they can harm and they can heal

We raise them in praise and honor

We use them to stone and steal

With his two hands, one that rescued history

Said he came for the sick and sightless

He said that was you and me



If not for the hand that leads us

We too would roam in the darkness

If not for the hand that heals us

We would live in pain



But still we keep our distance

Caught up in our false pretenses

Only by the hand have we been changed

Compelled by the gracious hand that chose to change this life for us

Won't we choose to use our hands to give the world his love?



If not for the hand that leads us

We too would roam in the darkness

If not for the hand that heals us

We would live in pain



But still we keep our distance

Caught up in our false pretenses

Only by the hand have we been changed

Have we been changed
