People came from everywhere
They heard a man was there
Who could do miracles
There was power in his hands
He was like no other man
Could this really be the long awaited King
When would he rise and take His throne
When would he make His kingdom known
What was He waiting for
They just didn't know
Only the hands that bled can bless
Only the eyes filled with tenderness
Only the heart that was broken for our sins
Only the feet that walked that hill
Could love the ones who rejected Him
Only the one who died and is living still
Only the hands that bled
They had listened to His words
But few had really heard
What He was telling them
He said that He must die
And tried to tell them why
Most of them just could not understand
For this was the man who raised the dead
These were the hands that healed and feed
He could have stopped the nails
But He just let them go
Only the hands that bled can bless
Only the eyes filled with tenderness
Only the heart that was broken for our sins
Only the feet that walked that hill
Could love the ones who rejected Him
Only the one who died and is living still
Only the hands that bled
(Only the hands)
Only the life He sacrificed could save us
(Only the hands)
Only Jesus
Only the hands that bled can bless
Only the eyes filled with tenderness
Only the heart that was broken for our sins
(Only Jesus)
Only the feet that walked that hill
Could love the ones who rejected Him
Only the one who died and is living still
Only the hands that bled
Only the hands that bled can bless
Only the eyes filled with tenderness
Only the heart that was broken for our sins
(Only Jesus)
Only the feet that walked that hill
Could love the ones who rejected Him
Only the one who died and is living still
Only the hands that bled
Only the hands that bled can bless
Only the eyes filled with tenderness
Only the heart that was broken for our sins
(Only Jesus)
Only the feet that walked that hill
Could love the ones who rejected Him
Only the one who died and is living still
Only the hands that bled
