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.

He's soooo precious! He isn't all scrunched up like other day-old babies I've seen--he looks great!
And the hair!
WAY too cute.
He is soo cute. I love his blonde hair.
Wow! That's amazing. Even with his eyes closed he looks like a Keister! :-)
I must echo Kacie and Caroline. :-D
Absolutely darling! One of the few day-old babies I've seen with so much blond hair...so adorable!
Warm congratulations from Australia! I'd been checking your blog fairly frequently lately to see if the little man had arrived yet!
I'm expecting twins in December.

AgHHHHH! He's so cute! I love the hair. I've never seen so much blond hair. I can't get over his stubby little nose. Harry had a nose just like that. He's so little!!! So cute.
Enjoy him. These first few days are SO special.
God bless!
He's adorable! Congrats on the new little one.
You'll have to change your "about" info now! He's truly beautiful.
What a little smoocher! He looks like a Hans :)
I absolutely love this picture. He's adorable! So have you pulled out your and Adrian's baby pictures to see how he compares?? : )
Congratulations! Your baby is beautiful! My son was born on June 18th 19 years ago. It is a wonderful day for a birthday!
God bless you all.

Awww!
I'm thrilled for both of you and the exciting and incredible new adventure you've just embarked on! May the Lord give you His Wisdom and grace as you seek to train this precious little boy up in His ways.
Wonderful! He sure is cute . . . but you knew that, didn't you :)
Very, very happy that God has blessed you in this way
