HANDS

by Jewel
Lyrics:
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
and not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
and I am never broken

Poverty stole your golden shoes
But it didn't steal your laughter
and heart ache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after
We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
and I am never broken

In the end only kindness matters

I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
and I am never broken

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
and I am never broken
We are never broken

We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's hands
Last night Lucas' chorus class sang this song and it was beautiful so see 6th graders sing this awesome song!
Sometimes I pray for young people, because things seem so different to me than they used to be. We always want our kids to have and do more than we did. I hope and pray Lucas lives happy and does good.

You MUST have been crying! I love that song. I hope they had tissues for all the parents. And I totally agree with you that things seem so different for kids these days than they were for us. Kids aren't allowed to be kids anymore.
