A Gifted Hand - Gene Watson

The artist draws a portrait

With a likeness strong & true

The potter spins his wheel

With a talent held by few

And you are also blessed

With a gift God gave to you

You took a weathered heart of stone

And did what no one else could do

You found love in the water of a spring long dry

You broke through the hard shell of a man

You breathed life into his soul that was cold as if he’d died

I’ve been touched by a gifted hand

I’ve found love in your gifted hand

Words live on the pages

When written down with tears

A castle built of stone can last a thousand years

And you have forged a chain of silver pure & strong

That will bind our hearts together until this world is gone

You found love in the water of a spring long dry

You broke through the hard shell of a man

You breathed life into his soul that was cold as if he’d died

I’ve been touched by a gifted hand

I’ve found love in your gifted hand
