Hands that Lifted Orphans

Hands that are given
offered unto God
holy witness
to the love in the word

Hands that lifted orphans
gave food to those in need
healing their bodies, their spirits
living out God’s holy word

With His Calloused Hands

Not a member of the elite
never sitting, studying in the Temple
working, with his calloused hands
the nets, the water, this was his life

Beginning the church, this foundation
ordinary men, laity, common
spreading the word
the truth of God’s love
to the ends of the earth
