Hands
18 November 2010
She fussed and fussed until I undid her strap and let her hold her hand to her face. It's so very comforting to her. I was watching her and reminded of one of my favorite songs by JJ Heller, with lyrics that go:
I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
That You would take my pain away
I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
