His Hands by Kenneth Cope
His Hands

His hands

Power without end

And yet through them we find our truest friend

Children waiting to be held again

His hands would serve His whole life through
C G
Showing man what hands might do
Em7 D
Giving, ever giving, endlessly

Each day was filled with selflessness

And I'll not rest til I make of my hands what they could be
C D7 G
'Til these hands become like those from Galilee
[Interlude]
C - G5 - C - G5
[Verse]

His hands
GM7/F#
Lifting a leper
Em7
Warming a beggar
Bm7
Calling back the dead
C D
Breaking bread, five thousand fed
G
His hands
GM7/F#
Hushing contention
Em7
Pointing to heaven
Bm7
Ever free of sin
C Dsus D
Then bidding man to follow him
[Chorus]

His hands would serve His whole life through
C G
Showing man what hands might do

'Til these hands become like those from Galilee
[Bridge]
Em
His hands
Em/D
Clasped in agony
CM7 Bm7 Am7
As He lay pleading, bleeding in the garden
C
While just moments away
G/B Em
Other hands betray Him
Am7 B7
Out of greed, shameful greed
Em
And then His hands
Em/D
Are trembling
CM7 Bm7 Am7
Straining to carry the beam that they'll be nailed to
C
As He stumbles through the streets
G/B Em Am7
Heading for the hill on which He'd die
B7
He would die
CM7 Em7 Am7 - B7
They take His hands, His mighty hands, those gentle hands
Em7 Em7/D
And then they pierce them, they pierce them
Bm7 CM7
He lets them, because of love
CM7 G
From birth to death was selflessness
Em7 Em7/D CM7 Am7
And clearly now I see Him with His hands
CM7
Calling to me
C G Am7
And though I'm not yet as I would be
C G Am7
He has shown me how I could be
C D G
I will make my hands like those from Galilee
