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.

Aww! How sweet!
You look a little advanced there, Hans. Using Gmail already?! ;)
That's so cute : )
And you're wearing a very pretty skirt!
Hehe. That's actually the cover to MyBreastFriend pillow :-). It is pretty, though, isn't it?
Aw, he's getting so big! What an adorable smile!
My nephews are still doing that, and they're nearly two! It doesn't seem to have done them any harm though.
