The Hand Lyrics - Ginny Owens

I hear a blind man, asking where this road goes 

But we won't tell him, we just stop to block his way with stones 

I watched a woman, overtaken by disease 

We frown upon her suffering, instead of offering the cure she needs 

My heart is heavy as I see what we've become 

How quickly we forget what we've been rescued from 

If not for the hand that leads us 

We too would roam in the darkness 

If not for the hand that heals us 

We would live in pain 

Our hands have power, they can harm and they can heal 

We raise them in praise and honor, we use them to stone and steal 

With his two hands, one man rescued history 

Said He came for the sick and sightless, He said that was you and me 

If not for the hand that leads us 

We too would roam in the darkness 

If not for the hand that heals us 

We would live in pain 

But still we keep our distance caught up in our false pretenses 

Only by the hand have we been changed 

Compelled by the gracious hand that chose to change this life for us 

Wont we choose to use our hands to give the world his love? 

If not for the hand that leads us 

We too would roam in the darkness 

If not for the hand that heals us 

We would live in pain 

But still we keep our distance 

Caught up in our false pretenses 

Only by the hand have we been changed 

Have we been changed
