Two Hands

 

If you haven't noticed yet, we're taking a lyrical tour through an album that set several standards for musical artists involved in the Jesus movement of the late Sixties and early Seventies. It's by a group called Love Song and is titled Love Song.

My personal connection to this song is that it's simple enough for me to play on guitar, which I have done on more than one occasion. One particularly memorable performance was with a ministry co-worker named Bob Damon, with whom I worked for several years, encouraging church members to live out the truth found in these words.

We're all gathered here because we all believe

If there's a doubter in the crowd, we ask you not to leave

Give a listen to His story

Hear the message that we bring

Feel the faith swell up inside you

Lift your voice with us and sing

Accept Him with your whole heart

And use your own two hands

With one reach out to Jesus

And with the other, bring a friend

Many know Him well, others just by name

If you don't know for what He stands

You've really much to gain

With faith you can move mountains

These are common words but true

We aren't quite a mountain

But He's moved us here to you

Accept Him with your whole heart

And use your own two hands

With one reach out to Jesus

And with the other, bring a friend

(Tom Coomes - Chuck Butler)

Truth is...Our marching orders from Jesus are to do just this. Love God and love people enough to make sure they aren't missing out on His great love for us.
