Lyrics
My Father's Hands (c) 2009 Greg Swartzentruber/Mike Siegel He washed 'em good for Sunday service They'd shake a bit when he got nervous Strong and weathered, rough and gritty Stained with grease, not all that pretty I'd size up my little hand to his Wond'rin' if mine would get that big My father's hands held tight when I was young Then let go when my time had come And years have shown that I now own My father's hands Before each meal he'd fold them neat Then give thanks for the food we?d eat Wash dishes once we ate our fill Then write the checks that paid our bills Though I feared those hands when I'd been bad I still hoped someday I'd grow to have My father's hands wore just one ring to show The love he had for mother even though God took her home with Him so long ago I still feel my father's hands He touched me so I'd understand I?d know that he is still my guide As my son sizes his to mine I think does my boy see in me All that I saw my Dad to be My father's hands held tight when I was young Then let go when my time had come The years have shown that I now own My father's hands I wash 'em good for Sunday Service They shake a bit when I get nervous
