See the hands, see the face,
See the miracle of God's grace.
Now we come as many have before
To place the child in the hands of the Lord.
A child will come into our lives
With open hearts, open eyes.
We surround them with a love outpoured
And place the child in the hands of the Lord.
Through ev'ry step, the child will grow and change,
There will be joy, there will be pain
So now we come to join this day
And vow to teach, to guard and pray,
That when they fall and when they soar,
They will are held by the hands of the Lord.
And when our hands must let them go,
By faith our hearts will al-ways know
That whatever life may have in store.
We place the child into the hands of the Lord.
