Hand of Kindness Songtext

von Bob Bennett

HAND OF KINDNESS
1996 Bright Avenue Songs (ASCAP)

I've no need to be reminded
Of all my failures and my sins
For I can write my own indictment
Of who I am and who I've been
I know that grace, by definition,
Is something I can never earn
But for all the things that I may have missed
There's a lesson I believe that I have learned

There's a hand of kindness
Holding me, holding me
There's a hand of kindness
Holding me, holding onto me

Forgiveness comes in just a moment
But sometimes the consequences last
And it's hard to walk inside that mercy
When the present is so tied up to the past
In this crucible of cause and effect
I walk the wire without a net
And I wonder if I'll ever fall too far
But that day has not happened yet

And in the raven dark
There shines a distant light
It seems to point at me
It burns away the night
Familiar figure on horizon
Moving closer now I see
His heart is shining like the sun
And he is reaching out for me

With a hand of kindness
He's holding me, holding me
There's a hand of kindness
Holding me, holding onto me
Holding on ... a hand of kindness
