Lyrics from "These Hands"
By: Susan Santiago
The life they are living is so hard to imagine
So many homeless in this world
Live in poverty
They're losing hope to live the American Dream
and pray someone will hear their cries
Just saying "I'll help you" is only the beginning
The time is really what we should be giving
It's in the action in that four letter word
That comes alive in that we do
Chorus
These hands you have given me
They are reaching our to the lost and the lonely
As i life my voice and give you praise
I can feel power of your love and amazing grace
With these hands...
