Rev Simpkins & the Phantom Notes - Big Sea

Hands

I have glimpsed it beside a grave
As the earth falls from my hand
I have heard it in a mourner's wail
I don't pretend I understand

I have seen it in a baby's gaze
Pouring water from my hand
I perceive it in the tracing of a cross
I don't pretend I understand
How love is strong as death
But who am I to deny either?
Love is strong as death

I have felt it standing among friends
As the bread breaks in my hand
I have known it in the Word I love so well
I don't pretend I understand
How love is strong as death
But who am I to deny either?
Love is strong as death

It's spoken plainly in a dying breath
Grasped in the touching of two hands
It fills your sorrows, it fills your joys
But don't pretend you understand
How love is strong as death
But who am I to deny either?
Love is strong as death
