Illness
In My Hand
I wrote your name in my hand today ~
I prayed for blessings to come your way;
I know you’ve had many hard things to bear ~
Things that the Lord wants me to share.
I carried your name in my hand all day ~
When the dish water almost washed it away
I wrote it again and bolder still ~
I prayed till I felt that heavenly thrill.
And I thought I heard the voice of God say,
“I also carried a name today ~
It’s engraved forever and ever to stay
No amount of soap could take it away.”
My privilege, my honor, my duty is sure,
I carry your name to help you endure.
But, it’s true, there’s a reason straight from above ~
I carry your name for the cause...of Love.
