One Pair of Hands
A strong pair of hands
Lifted me from my doldrums
Set me on a hill
It was Golgotha
Known as the place of the skulls
Three crosses were there.
People gathered there
To watch as our Lord was killed
How they must have mourned!
But today I stand
Stand before an empty cross
Knowing He’s alive
Christ’s not on that hill
He is risen and alive
Of that I am sure
And his sure, strong hands
Hold me in their peace-filled palms
And reassure me
He’s got the whole world
Holding it in His strong hands
Caring for us all
Remembering Him
As He hung dying for me
I surely believe
Death was not in vain
Know it was not permanent
He’s risen indeed
And He lives in me
He lives in each one of us
Who chooses to TRUST
Trust in the One God
Who chose to send us His Son
That we also LIVE
Live holding His hands
As He reaches out for us
Each day is EASTER!
Have a Marvelous
Monday in Light, Love, and Truth
He’s got you covered!
Go back and listen again to “One Pair of Hands”
Carry the words and Elvis Presley‘s beautiful voice
With you in your heart – and then live in His Peace.

Amen……….
Amen and amen! One pair of hands, indeed! Beautiful song and wonderful message. Thank you Jan for another uplifting post. Blessings!
You’re welcome. Thank you, Donna. I hope your Monday has been Marvelous! <3
Elvis singing this wonderful Gospel song adds an exclamation point to your poetry. Amen! Our Easter Hope rests in the beloved hands of our Savior.
Thank you, Richard. Elvis really did have a sweet voice, didn’t he? It’s easier to hear that in his tone with this song than it is in most of his rock and roll stuff!
We sometimes forget about his early singing of Gospel music.
