In this blog post, I would like to share a poem that was written by my friend, Mark Edwards.
THE GLORY OF HIS HANDS
by Mark Edwards 2019
Long ago God decide to write a story
With His own hand and for His Glory
He would create a world with His own hand
From the dust of the earth the first man.
From that man He would fashion Eve
And to her husband Adam she would cleave
God gave them both working hands
For His Glory to tend His garden as fans.
Then sin enters into God’s story
But not to worry it is all part of His Glory
Adam and Eve chose to disobey
And use their hands in a wrong way.
God’s plan would soon unfold
His Glory to display from old
The Son who sat at the Father’s right hand
Would Himself become a mere man
The King of Glory born with hands
Would be a simple human man
The hand that once held the universe
Now would hold the secret to the curse
God gave human hands for His Son
To work as a carpenter and get things done
To bring Him Glory of this earth
And open the way for a new birth.
His hands healed the sick and blind
To many He was so kind
He made the lepers clean
His Eternal Glory to be seen.
His hands would be nailed to a wooden cross
Pierced for our sin was the boss
He gave his life in exchange for mine
The Prince of Glory died on a white pine.
Three days later He would rise again
His hands would be His proof to the men
When they put their fingers in His hand
They believed and walked into the promise land.
His hands I will also some day see
For I will finally be set free
In His Glory forever we will talk
Hand in Hand we will walk
I am waiting to see His hands
I am waiting to touch His hands
I am waiting to walk hand in hand
O the Glory of His Hands.
From beginning to end, this story is all a part of God's Glory. Be encouraged and join me in pondering the Glory of His hands.
