If I could do a dedication of a woman, part of God’s creation
I would tell you of a woman touched by heaven.
Not known by worldly manner, not called to fame or stature
But a lowly humble servant to her family.
I wonder what she’s done, how she lived and how she won
The battles that surrounded her every day.
She never fussed or hollered or grimaced with conditions
That came at her like daggers through the night.
How did she do it? What was her best defense
Against the life she lived as woman wife, mother and friend?
She put her hands together and she prayed.
Those hands that wiped the tears through all her children’s years of life
And lessons learned throughout all time.
She bowed her head and said, her words to God instead of all the other people in her house.
When she put her hands together the power of God descended
And sat with her at the table in the kitchen.
God pulled up a chair and listened to her there as her hands were lifted to the throne of grace.
The sweet presence of His spirit seemed to manifest itself
and the warmth of the Almighty filled the place.
All her aches and pains were melted and the weight of life was lifted all because she put her hands together as she prayed.
I wonder what she touched with those same hands
how she hugged and fed and folded up her clothes.
How she dressed and combed, held and stroked her children as they grew up through the years.
How she held her face in those hands as she tried to close the gap
When her children weren’t as close as she would like.
But then they’d come together, and God would come and visit her again and talk awhile.
I don’t know if I’ll ever understand or comprehend the power in her hands.
I don’t think I’ll ever see anyone quite like she was;
Lord, teach me the power in those hands.
