There are many things in life
that I could not understand
But the good Lord bless the labours
of these two hard working hands of mine
And when all my toil is over
and I'm laid beneath the sod
Soon these hands of mine
will touch the hands of God
Chorus:
There'll be a welcome there
for me far beyond that crystal sea
And I'll hold the hands
that calvary's nails have scarred
Then I'll enter through the gates,
Walk on streets the saints have trod
And these hands of mine
will touch the hands of God
Many times these hands have failed Him
but he's kept me by His grace
Even though sometimes in kindness
he's applied the chastening rod
but I'm going home tomorrow
Then I'll see him Face to face
Soon these hands of mine
will touch the hands of God
that I could not understand
But the good Lord bless the labours
of these two hard working hands of mine
And when all my toil is over
and I'm laid beneath the sod
Soon these hands of mine
will touch the hands of God
Chorus:
There'll be a welcome there
for me far beyond that crystal sea
And I'll hold the hands
that calvary's nails have scarred
Then I'll enter through the gates,
Walk on streets the saints have trod
And these hands of mine
will touch the hands of God
Many times these hands have failed Him
but he's kept me by His grace
Even though sometimes in kindness
he's applied the chastening rod
but I'm going home tomorrow
Then I'll see him Face to face
Soon these hands of mine
will touch the hands of God
