Lord take this hands

My face is scarred and I'm seldom lucky
And the words that He gave to me then
Much later touched me
And He was pushed but He wouldn't push back
And He was fought but not bested
And He believes now so much
More than He did yesteryear
And He won't be bested, He won't be bested
Oh no

Lord, take these hands
Give me strength to stand
Give me hope to try and I won't walk on by
Lord, take these hands
Give me strength to stand
And I won't walk on by
Love is never as easy to come
As we think it should be
But when it does don't it
Pour down like the rain

And I won't be pushed won't be chained
Won't be lost and I won't be afraid
That's just not as easy as it should seem
So, please

Lord, take these hands
Give me strength to stand
Give me hope to try i won't walk on by
