Lyrics
Nothing But His Hands by Eric Hess�©
My Daddy worked a factory job
To bring home what he could
He liked to play the guitar
But he loved to work with wood
I'd help him in his old shop
He'd tell me where to stand
I swore my Daddy built the world
With nothing but his hands
I was cleaning up my woodshop
In my garage last Saturday
Had to pick my son up from a friend
Stopped to listen to them play
His friend said his Daddy...
Could beat up any man
Mine said his Daddy built the world
With nothing but his hands
Bridge
My Fathers hands are worn and weathered
Mine are stained with grease and oil
I know these aren't the kind of hands
That built the whole wide world
So when my son got in the car
I told him 'bout a Man
Who died two thousand years ago
He told us where to stand
I told him of His promise
For a new and better land
And how His Daddy built the world
With nothing but his hands
How His Daddy built the whole wide world
With nothing but his hands.
