Healing Hands

In your hands are tools
to make a diagnosis,
helping you to look and listen well,
accurately measure and record.
In your hands are fine-honed skills
of observation,
intuition, evaluation;
jewels of knowledge aptly stored.

In your hands is deftness wed to understanding;
reasurrance, firm but tender touch
applied with kind, compassionate care.
In your hands are all the facts
obtained through study,
long years of gaining education,
equipping you with healing to share.

On your hands are God's own hands
steadfastly guiding;
bestowing depths of endless mercy,
opening paths for your seeking soul.
In His hands you reap
the wisdom of the ages,
Eternity's wealth of dedication,
His grace to restore and make them whole.

Each one should use whatever gift he has received
to serve others,
faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 
1Peter 4:10 NIV
