Gifted Hands

[Verse 1]

I remember the day that he came in

I can't believe how long it's been

Like a poet, he began to play

Just an old friend that hung with the band

A drinking man, he had no plan

But he played the 'Bird, played it for free

[Chorus]

'Cause I know he's here, he's everywhere

Take a look around, oh, and you will see

That cross we bear, it's in the air

Lord, we thank you for those gifted hands

[Verse 2]

There are demons we live with every day

That tear at our hearts and take us away to another place

Some of us don't get back

This song is for the hands of the working man

Who believes in himself and he understands

Love, hope and faith are The Maker's plan

[Chorus]

'Cause I know he's here, he's everywhere

Take a look around, oh, and you will see

That cross we bear, it's in the air

Lord, we thank you for those gifted hands

[Post-Chorus]

One day we'll all take that ride

And with those gifted hands I know you'll fly
