This weeks challenge at Gothic Arches is to create an arch with the theme “Hands”. A song by the artist “Jewel” came to mind when I made my arch which is also titled “Hands”…
The sweet vintage image is from Hermine Koster, vintage wings are from Nancy Dooren, various pattern papers, all justjohanna rubber stamps, photo tinting pens and a prima flower. The song lyrics were printed out on the computer.
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we’re all ok
And not to worry because worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
I will not be made useless
I won’t be idled with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know,
but they’re not yours they are my own
but they’re not yours they are my own
and I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
but it didn’t steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
but i knew it wasn’t ever after
We will fight, not out of spite
for someone must stand up for what’s right
cause where there’s a man who has no voice
there ours shall go singing
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees and I will pray
I will get down on my knees and I will pray
I will get down on my knees and I will pray
My hands are small, I know,
but they’re not yours they are my own
but they’re not yours they are my own
and I am never broken
My hands are small, i know,
but they’re not yours they are my own
but they’re not yours they are my own
and I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God’s eyes
God’s hands
God’s mind
We are God’s eyes
God’s hands
God’s heart
We are God’s eyes
God’s hands
God’s eyes
God’s hands
We are God’s hands
God’s hands
We are God’s hands
