One of His little ones

Be His Hands, Show His Love

I want the ones this world hides away in shame
I want the ones that they don't want to claim
I want to hold them, and to tell them My name
Would you be My hands? Would you show My love?

I want the little girls sleeping on the streets
With hardly any clothes and bare and blistered feet
I want to clothe her in Myself and give her bread to eat
Would you be My hands? Would you show My love?

I want the ones that are hidden away
Used for pleasures and evel mans gain
I want the ones who suffer in deep shame
Would you be My hands?  Would you show My love?

I want the ones that it took My life to save
I want the ones for whom I rose up from the grave
I want the ones for whom my life I gave
Would you be My hands?  Would you show My love?

It's time for the people of God to arise
To be His hands and feet to the lonely ones
To carry His love to the ones they don't want
Because He does, oh yes He does

Would you be His hands? Would you show My love?

Song written by Kourtney Priest
Why are things that are so precious
Hid in things of little worth?
Perhaps to show the life that Christ
would live here are on the earth

Why is a diamond hid in stone
That is known as rough?
Wouldn't clay be far more soft
and not near so tough?

Christ's ways are not our ways
We chose the easy way out
But He knows what He's after
And His treasures are far more stout

Than anything I've see
Formed in mud or pliable clay
Perhaps thats why He makes them thus
And hides them safely away

He forms these precious things in secret
Not on display, like we
He even now is forming
A precious gem in me

He works in quiet places
Unseen by most every eye
Only those who truly seek
Will find where His treasure lies

So seek His treasure in hidden places
Though rough the digging be
Look to Him and find true beauty
Where you didn't expect it to be!
