Lyrics A Gifted Hand - Gene Watson

A Gifted Hand

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
