Lyrics

There are many things in life

Expressing the complexity of life.

That I cannot understand

Acknowledging the existence of things beyond comprehension.

Yet the good Lord's blessed the labor

Recognizing the blessings received from God for hard work.

Of these two hard working hands

Highlighting the labor and effort put into work by the hands.

And when all my toil is over

Referring to the end of one's labor or life.

And I'm laid beneath the sod

Anticipating death and burial.

Then these hands of mine shall

Expressing a connection between the hands and God.

Touch the hands of God

Imagining a spiritual connection with God after death.


Many times these hands have failed Him but

Admitting past failures despite God's grace.

He's kept me by His grace

Gratitude for being sustained by God's grace despite shortcomings.

Even though sometimes in kindness He's

Reflecting on moments of discipline from God.

Applied the chastening rod

Reference to God's corrective measures.

But I'm going home tomorrow and I'll

Expressing the anticipation of going home (to heaven).

See Him face to face

Expectation of meeting God face to face in the afterlife.

Then these hands of mine will

Imagining a direct connection with God through the hands.

Touch the hands of God

Reiteration of the spiritual connection with God's hands.


There'll be a welcome there for me

Anticipation of a welcoming atmosphere in heaven.

Far beyond that crystal sea

Describing a heavenly scene beyond a crystal sea.

And I'll hold the hands that

Anticipating holding the hands that bear scars from Calvary.

Calvary's nails have scarred

Reference to the crucifixion and sacrifice of Jesus.

Then I'll enter through the gates

Imagining entry through heavenly gates.

Walk on streets the saints have trod

Walking on paths of those considered saints.

Then these hands of mine will

Reiterating the idea of direct contact with God through hands.

Touch the hands of God

Emphasizing the spiritual connection with God in the afterlife.
