Intro: E A2 E B2 (2x) E5 E5 (Barr short) (Play A & B barred)
E E A2 B2
a cloud of dust rose from scampering feet
as the children gathered running to meet
a love that knew no bounds (E E E E)
and lord, you did not turn them away
reaching out, you welcomed them with a tender embrace
in your hands compassion was found
B2 A2
and today millions of dusty little feet
still trod this earth so desperate in need
of your gentle arms to pick them up (B)
Chorus: (2 beats each chord)
E A2 B2 E
let me be the hands that bring your love to the needy
A2 B2
that give rest to the weary, lord
E A2 B2 E
let me be the arms open wide to the wounded stranger
A2 B2 A2 B2
that defend my struggling neighbor lord, let me be the hands
E A2 E B2 (2x)
E E A2 B2
in this world, so many are crippled with pain
seems there's twice as many who just walk away
is love without action, love at all?
B2 A2
and today millions of dusty little feet
still echo the challenge from galilee
"if you love me then feed my sheep" Repeat Chorus

holding the cup of water to the lips of the thirsty
