The Hands of God

Categories: God

I look at my hand between finger and thumb
Marvel afresh at what God has done.

With the span of His hand how he measured the sky
Yet came to earth as a baby to die.

Gathered together the oceans in His hand
Weighed in His basket all the dust of the land.

Yet had his hands pierced out of love for me
Marks he has in His hands eternally.

Yes, engraved by nails on the palms of his hand
Is my name which means in righteousness I can stand.

Stand before the Almighty Creator God
Completely justified by Christ, the Living Word.

Kept securely in the Father’s hands for ever
Protected and from where no one can sever.

Isaiah 40:12
John 10:28,29
