Hands Like Yours

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of strong In the women who hold on Who keep the porch light burning When the world goes wrong She prays before the morning Hands folded, soft and sure A gentle hallelujah Walking through every door [Chorus] Oh, momma, what a grace The light upon your face You loved me through the storm You held me through the chase By faith you carried on When the road was hard to find Thank God for hands like yours And a heart like yours, so kind [Verse 2] Janet, you lost your brother Long before his time But you never lost your shining Or that hope inside You stood beside this daughter When I couldn't stand alone You spoke my name to heaven Til the prodigal came home [Chorus] Oh, momma, what a grace The light upon your face You loved me through the storm You held me through the chase By faith you carried on When the road was hard to find Thank God for hands like yours And a heart like yours, so kind [Bridge] Now retirement ain't no resting It's a calling, it's a plan Guiding souls toward Jesus With an open hand [Verse 3] Janet Evans, happy birthday From Rachel and from Paul We're the family still standing And you're the heart of it all Most grounded soul we know Steady as the southern sky Keep on shining, momma We'll be right by your side [Chorus] Oh, momma, what a grace The light upon your face You loved us through the storm You held us through the chase By faith you carried on When the road was hard to find Thank God for hands like yours And a heart like yours, so kind [Outro] Happy birthday, Janet Sweet momma, full of grace There ain't no love like yours And no one takes your place
