THESE HANDS
(Kevin Wilson/Walter Fixsen)

As I twist the cap off this bottle,
The words my mama said to me
Ring back through a haze of tender memories
To the days when I sat upon her knee.

She'd fold her hands over mine as we prayed.
We'd count our blessings every day.
And I remember promising to make my mama proud.
She'd shake her head and smile. Lord, it seems like yesterday.

CHO: She said, “Son, these hands will make your living.
Son, these hands will make your love.
These hands will keep your promises when you become a man.
You'll be known by the proof in these hands.”

As I sift through the wreckage that's left of my life,
I've made so many mistakes.
And it feels like a hurricane has blown away my mind
And left this heart in pieces and these hands with the shakes. CHO.

(Repeat first verse)
