LYRICS

Verse 1:
May these works our hands will fashion 
Bear each mark of grace in us
Seeds we’ve sown in dust and ashes: 
Now they grow in faith and love 

God our Maker, Great Creator 
Making all things new each day 
We rehearse Your new creation
So this work is not in vain

Verse 2: 
Use this work to bless Your children
Houses warm and tables spread
May they know Your good provision
May they praise Your faithfulness

Lord You use the simplest people
For Your kingdom’s richest gain
All Your gifts are good and holy
So this work is not in vain

Verse 3: 
And in days of pain and sorrow 
Still Your light is shining through 
Patient beauty wakes our longing
For Your kingdom coming soon

Oh the joy of Christ is breaking
Through our lives in work and praise 
As we make, His hands are making 
So this work is not in vain
