Healing Hands Lyrics

Words and music by Steve Gillette and Rex Benson

From the CD The Ways Of The World
Listen to a clip (MP3)

My Grandma and Grandpa had wonderful hands With callouses and wedding bands. They taught me that where there was love There was always a way. The picture of the two of them Has seen me through a lot of years They were there when I reached up to them And they're in my life today. Healing hands, something I can hold on to. Healing hands, the touch that understands. Healing hands, I'll always be drawn to Hearts that belong to healing hands. You and I may worry so, To see the kingdoms come and go. But we've seen enough to know That it's only love that lingers. And learning how to live can take a lifetime. We've got to lend a hand in this troubled world Before it slips right through our fingers. Healing hands, something I can hold on to. Healing hands, a touch that understands. Healing hands, I'll always be drawn to Hearts that belong to healing hands. Healing hands, something I can hold on to. Healing hands, the touch that understands. Healing hands, I'll always be drawn to Hearts that belong to healing hands. © 1990, Foreshadow Music, BMI / Jesse Erin Music, ASCAP
