Nothing in my hand I bring. . . simply to Thy cross I cling.
Dirty Hands
In my lap, still and silent
Dirty hands, a sinner's grasp;
Will I leave them there, defying,
As you call me to my task?
At my side, busy, flying,
Able hands used for good work;
In my mind, pride overtaking,
Duties now I never shirk.
Lips do tremble, eyes are opened,
Glancing at my sin-marred hands;
Much like Uzzah's fatal choice,
Did I forget the filth of man?
Glancing up I see before me
Blood-stained hands, a sinless Ram.
Open arms, He welcomes, calling,
"Come rest in me, my little lamb."
On the plow now, tightly holding,
Tear-stained hands my tasks employ.
Jesus at my side does guide me;
Tears of sorrow turned to tears of joy.
In my lap, still and silent,
Dirty hands, a sinner's clasp:
Folded praying, day's task done.
'Tis God's work in me lights my path.

I know...I was so excited for them too! New babies are always so wonderful!
Hooray! I am so excited for them. :-)
Wonderful news! I really didn't get it until you posted this. I saw the post on Crystal's blog, and thought, "Hm, she's just asking for advice for someone else." =) I believe I've got some blonde streaks hidden in my hair!
Check back, Zan. There are a few more details now. I am especially thrilled given the difficulty they had conceiving Kathrynne and knowing that their heart's desire is to train children as warriors for the Lord.
All praise and glory to God alone!
