The Master's Hand Lyrics & Tabs by Carman
The Master's Hand
guitar chords lyrics
I walked into the church that night
Thought that I'd drop by the side
So I sat down
I laughed in spite of all my blues
It's really not the type of place
I used to hang around
I looked ahead and saw a man
And watched him close as he began to speak
That certain day
And it seemed like something deep inside
Had seized my soul and though I tried
To shake it
It wouldn't go away
It was as though the words he said
Would echo back inside my head
It wouldn't go away
It was as though the words he said
Would echo back inside my head
I almost cried
I'd be a fool so I suppose
Then somehow got my self composed
And held it inside
I felt the blood rush through my wrist
The tighter that I squeezed my fist
Determined not to let conviction start
Then with all my wisdom left behind
I somehow saw that I was blind
And then slowly
Let his presence fill my heart
As everyone stepped to their feet
I managed to somehow to repeat the prayer
That they were praying
Then I dropped my head and I dropped my eyes
And suddenly I realized
Just what I was saying
Through trembling lips
And streaming tears
I envied all those wasted years
Of dreams I'd built on sand
Unloading all my guilt and wrong
I somehow felt both weak and strong
The night I took the Master's hand
As I look back remembering
I still recall
How everything just seemed different than before
How every house and bird and tree
Was strangely beautiful to me
And people were even more
How could I have been so blind
To rush through life and never find
This rock on which I stand,
But when I whispered Jesus name
I knew I'd never be the same
The night I took the Master's hand
But when I whispered Jesus name
I knew I'd never be the same
The night I took the Master's hand
