<\/div>\n
These hands ain\u2019t the hands of a gentleman,<\/span>
\nThese hands are calloused and old.<\/span>
\nThese hands raised a family, these hands built a home;<\/span>
\nNow these hands raise to praise the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n
These hands won the heart of my loved one,<\/span>
\nAnd with hers they were never alone.<\/span>
\nIf these hands filled their task, then what more could one ask?<\/span>
\nThough these fingers have worked to the bone.<\/span><\/p>\n
Now don\u2019t try to judge me by what you\u2019d like to be,<\/span>
\nFor my life ain\u2019t been much success.<\/span>
\nWhile some people have power, but still they grieve,<\/span>
\nWhile these hands brought me happiness.<\/span><\/p>\n
Now I\u2019m tired and I\u2019m old and I ain\u2019t got much gold;<\/span>
\nMaybe things ain\u2019t been all that I planned.<\/span>
\nGod above, hear my plea, when it\u2019s time to judge me,<\/span>
\nTake a look at these hard working hands.<\/span><\/p>\n
