Title: The Work of Your Hands

(Verse 1)

In the quiet of the calling, in the stillness of the prayer,

You have whispered to my spirit, lifted me from my despair.

Not for glory, not for honor, but to serve at Your command,

To be a vessel of Your mercy in this broken, waiting land.

(Chorus)

Lord, your kindness endures forever,

Forsake not the work of your hand.

In this calling, I will trust You,

And in Your promise, I will stand.

Lord, your kindness endures forever,

Forsake not the work of your hand.

(Verse 2)

Now I take this towel of service, like the Christ who knelt to wash,

To walk beside the weary, to help bear another's cross.

To proclaim the Word of life, and to break the living Bread,

To follow where You lead me, by Your Spirit I am led.

(Chorus)

Lord, your kindness endures forever,

Forsake not the work of your hand.

In this calling, I will trust You,

And in Your promise, I will stand.

Lord, your kindness endures forever,

Forsake not the work of your hand.

(Bridge)

This anointing is Your grace alone, this heart is not my own,

A deacon of Your church, Lord, making Your compassion known.

From the font unto the altar, to the world in need of grace,

Be my strength and my salvation, ‘til I see You face to face.

(Chorus)

Lord, your kindness endures forever,

Forsake not the work of your hand.

In this calling, I will trust You,

And in Your promise, I will stand.

Lord, your kindness endures forever,

Forsake not the work of your hand.

(Outro)

Forsake not the work of Your hand…

My life is the work of Your hand.

Amen.
