Chords for Holy Hands - John P. Kee

[A] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ We went back down to the [C#] hometown, _ [F#m] _ picked up [Bm] missionary church of God [Em] in Christ.
[G] _ [D] _ Where [Bm] my best friend Ricky's grandmother [A] was a missionary there.
[Bm] She loved to [A] glorify God, yes [G] she [D] did.
All the saints had come [C#] together to [F#m] celebrate her 84th birthday.
[Em] Now listen, [A] Mother May leaves [D] to praise God, dancing all [Bm] over the church.
I was not [A] surprised.
She'd been [Bm] confined to a [A] wheelchair.
_ [G] _ [D] Mother May Lee Brewster had been [C#] battling diabetes [F#m] for the last seven years.
[Em] She had both of [A] her legs [D] amputated on her as I watched her [Bm] in that chair.
Let me tell [A] you tonight, it [Bm] was a little [C#m] hard [G] to talk [D] to May Lee Brewster,
but she was a praise and worship [C#] leader.
[F#m] Before praise and worship became [Bm] popular, [A] she didn't [G] mind [D] giving God glory.
[Bm] As I looked in her [A] eyes, she looked at me and Ricky and [Bm] said,
[A] Boy, don't [D] you worry, Mother May Lee is going to be [C#] alright.
[F#m] Around that time Ricky's eyes filled with [Em] water.
She said, [A] Boy, stop [G] crying.
[D] As long as I've got breath [Bm] in my body, I'll give him [A] glory.
Looked up at me and said, _
[A] Holy [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
[A] hands, holy hands.
[D] I _ [Bm] am lifted up, [A] holy _ [Bm] hands. _
[C#m] She [G] _ [D] _ _ said, I might be [C#] in this wheelchair,
[F#m] but _ _ [Em] God's [A] still [D] worthy.
_ Holy [Bm] _
hands, _ [A] holy hands.
[Bm] She [A] took the microphone and [Am] said this,
_ I've [Em] raised my seven children.
[E] You can't imagine the [A] things [Em] people say.
[D] _ _ I've [Em] never seen the righteous [E] forsaken,
nor is [A] she [E] begging for [Am] bread.
I may be [G] in a wheelchair,
_ _ [E] but that [A] won't stop me [Em] from giving him glory [E] and blessing his [A] name.
And I [D] lift up, holy [A] _ hands.
She said, [Bm] whenever you [A] see me,
[G] I [D] will, I will, [C#] I will.
[F#m] Holy hands, holy _ [Em] hands.
[A] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ [Bm] I'll be lifted up, [A] holy hands.
_ _ [Bm] _ _
[B] I'll [G] be [D] _ _ _ _
[B] lifted up, [F#m] holy hands.
_ [Em] _ _
[A] _ [Bm] I'll be lifted [D] up, [Bm] holy _
[F#] _ _ [A] hands.
She said, I'll make God a [Bm] promise [A] that I will [G] [D] bless you.
_ I will bless [B] you.
_ [F#m] _ Holy [E] name, _
[A] holy name.
[D] _ [B] I will bless you.
Holy [A] _ name, holy name.
[Bm] _ _
[A] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ I've had my trials [C#] and tribulations,
[F#m] _ _ but I [Em] never gave up.
[F#] No, no, [D] no, no.
I kept [Bm] on praising [E] God.
_ [A] And then she said, [Bm] if I can [A] say a word,
[G] [D] if I can say a [C#] word,
[F#m] _ oh, if I [Em] can say a [A] word,
if [D] I can say [Bm] a _ [A] word,
oh, _ [Bm] if [C#m] I can say a word,
I will lift [G] up, [D] _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ [F#m] holy _ hands.
I'm [Bm] going _
[A] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ [Bm] to lift up, holy _ [A] hands.
_ _ _ [Bm] _
[B] I left [D] there that day,
_ _ I [C#] could not stop [F#m] crying because
it [Em] was just beautiful [E] to see this woman
[G] _ [D] _ [B] still giving God glory out of all she'd [A] gone through.
And I got a [Bm] phone call last [A] week and they told [D] me
_ _ that she went on to [C#] be with,
that she [F#m] went on to be with Gene,
but I'm [Em] running [A] to her
[D] because she's resting,
[Bm] she's resting in the _ [A] Savior's arms.
Like a tear-jerker,
[Bm] Hallelujah.
[B] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ She's [C#] resting,
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [Em] she's resting [B] in Jesus' [D] arms.
In _ [Bm] his [E] arms.
Yeah, [A] _ _ yeah, [Bm] yeah. _
[B] _ _ _ [D] _ _ We're going to miss [C#] her a lot,
[F#m] _ but [Bm] she's in a better [A] place now.
She's in a [D] better place now.
_ [Bm] Hallelujah.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[A] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
