Song Title: "Make Me a Hand of a Servant" (Lyrics and Chords)
Category: Communion
C Am
Open my hands which have
F Dm
been closed for so long
G E Am
As I’ve struggled for a better choice
F Am
Perfumed hands could I’ve chosen
F Am
but I’m bestowed with hands
Em Dm F
Marked with wrinkles and tanned:
G C G
hands of a servant.
Loosen my hands pressed
against my forehead
As I grapple with anguish in my life
Lately have I known better to put
my trust in God’s wisdom
So noble to think like a servant:
blessed be a servant
Refrain:
C-Am F G
Oh, Lord, I am your servant
C Am F E
Whom you have upheld and have chosen
Am-E
In whom my soul delights
Am
Behold here is your servant.
F Dm-G C
You put your spirit in me.
Tighten my hands in my moments of prayer
List’ning that I humbly take the form of a servant
Yes, a fool will I be to take a leap in the dark
Teach me the ways of a servant
who’ll serve one master
(Repeat Refrain)
Refrain:
C# Bbm F# G#
That I may bring forth justice to the nations:
C# Bbm F# F
To proclaim your word and gather your people
Bbm-F
In one bread one body, and endlessly
Bbm
serve your people
F# G# C#
Make me a hand of a servant!
