beautiful words

Our ward choir director started us on a new song today that came out in the April 2009 ensign called "Behold the Wounds in Jesus' Hands"(written by John V. Pearson), and I loved it so much I just had to share it with you. You may have heard it before but it's new to me. The lyrics are so beautifully written. My favorite line is "We cannot see the love of God which saves us from the Fall. Yet know that Christ from wood and nails built mansions for us all." See what I mean? Beautiful. Want to hear is sung? Just click below.

Have a happy Sabbath Day!

1. Behold the wounds in Jesus’ Hands,
The marks upon His side.
Then ponder whom He meant to save
When on the cross He died.
We cannot see the love of God
Which saves us from the Fall,
Yet know that Christ from wood and nails
Built mansions for us all.

2. Behold the outstreched hands of Christ,
Our Lord, who came to save,
Whose love and grace redeem our souls
And lift us from the grave.
Though bruised and battered as we stray,
His guiding hands caress.
He washes and annoints with oil;
Then in His arms we rest.

3. Behold the wounds in Jesus’ hands.
Look to your Lord and live.
He yearns to bless you with His love
And all your sins forgive.
Oh, empty is the heart of man
When it is filled with sin.
Come, open wide your broken heart
And let your Savior in!

4. Behold His wounded hands and feet!
Come touch, and see, and feel
The wounds and marks that you may know
His love for you is real.
Then as you fall to worship Him
And wash His feet in tears,
Your Savior takes you in his arms
And quiets all your fears.
