These hands aren't the hands of a gentleman these hands are calloused and old
|
These hands raised a family these hands built a home
|
Now these hands raised to praise the Lord
|
These hands won the heart of my loved one and with hers they were never alone
|
If these hands filled their task then what more could you ask
|
For these fingers have worked to the bone
|

|
Now don't try to judge me by what you'd like me be
|
For my life hasn't been a success
|
Some people have power but still they grieve
|
While these hands brought me happiness
|
Now I'm tired and I'm old and I haven't much gold
|
Maybe things ain't been all that I planned
|
Lord above hear my plea when it's time to judge me
|
Take a look at these hard working hands take a look at these hard working hands
