We Are His Hands - Words and Music by Betsy Lee Bailey 
Text inspired by a talk given in April 2010 by Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf

We are His hands.
We can do His work.
We can be examples of His caring.
We are His hands, 
Reaching out to others,
Extending hope and strength to those in need:

To love as Jesus loved,
To do as Jesus taught,
To mourn with those who mourn,
To succor those that are weak,
To lift the weary hands and strengthen feeble knees.

We are His hands.
We can show His face
By offering understanding and forgiving.
We are His hands.
We can smile in welcome
And greet each other in a warm embrace.

Who has not suffered?
Who has never grieved?
Who has never sinned 
Or felt the hurt of a broken heart?
Everyone needs love.
Everyone wants healing.
Through service we can share His healing balm.

We are His hands.
We can do His work.
We can be examples of His caring.
We are His hands.
We can do His work.
We are His hands,
His hands.

About the Song - A friend of mine mentioned that Pres. Uchtdorf's "You Are His Hands" talk from the April 2010 General Conference would make a wonderful song for Relief Society sisters.  So I studied the talk and tried to pull out actual phrases from his talk, just changing "you" to "we" are His hands in doing His work.  

The recording was created when I was invited to share this song with Pres. Uchtdorf himself.  He was very pleased with the song and hoped it could be shared with the Sisters throughout the Church.  Some friends volunteer their voices and we created this recording.  These were accomplished singers, so I was able to have them sing in 4 parts.  The published version however, is for 2 parts.  

Recording Credits - Betsy Bailey, conductor, and Dr. Robin Hancock, piano.
