Dearest Lord, the open pastures
a harvest born by horse drawn tractors
fueled by a love of your land
found joy done by the works of honest hands Lord
found joy done by the works of honest hands
Dearest Lord, the sky’s a story
the clouds, the winds, applaud you for me
I’m silent man
hushed by the works of honest hands, Lord
hushed by the works of honest hands
Glory Lord
Dearest Lord, the mighty river
the current strong, bares a resemblance true
you’re constant, you move
washed by the works of honest hands Lord
washed by the works of honest hands
Dearest Lord, those who walk beside me
the rich, the poor, may you remind me
you are found in them too
built by the works of honest hands Lord
built by the works of honest hands
Glory Lord
Dearest Lord, the soul inside me
seems to soar when music finds me
