The Praying Hands

The Praying Hands

These hands so scared and toilworn
tell the story of a man
who sacrificed his talent
in accordance with God’s plan.
For in god’s plan are many things
man cannot understand.
But we must trust God’s judgement
And be guided by his hand.
Sometimes he asks us to give up
our dreams of happiness.
Sometimes we must let go our hopes
of fortune and success.
But he who makes a sacrifice
so another may succeed
is indeed a true disciple
of our blessed Savior’s creed.
For when we give ourselves away
in sacrifice and love
we are laying up rich treasures
in God’s kingdom up above.
For any sacrifice on earth
made in the dear Lord’s name
assures the giver of a place
in “Heaven’s Hall of Fame”.
