Two Hands - Kiwi Poet

As I thank You for my life.
Help me to go about blessed
With your Spirit’s insight
And hear You affirm I’m your beloved.

Two Hands,
One filled with much to give
One open plain to serve.
Help me know where to use them both
To treat each request with concern.
May I know how to let go of self and
May I treat each breath You give with grace.

Two Hands,
One filled with much to share
One a token of your care.
Help me to be a blessing, to find
In You the strength to bear
What happens with me today.
Make me aware, my answer
Is already in your care
Make me sensitive to others
As I am my own affairs.

Two Hands,
One filled with true love
One ready to impart
Each a symbol of Your loving heart.
Today I bring my hands together and say;

“May I live to bless, not to curse,
Be conscious, You’ve created me for this day;
Your will be done upon this Your earth,
As it is in heaven; Holy is your name – Amen”

Accept my thanks for all You’ve done, My hands were empty and You filled them.
