1 God surprises us by kindness,
by another’s healing touch,
words that speak with understanding,
soothe where once we hurt so much.
2 We can never lose the tether
tying us to Godly grace,
yet through human hands we’re lifted,
as we’re meeting face to face.
3 Simple acts of loving kindness,
bring us back to life again,
ease the burden of each moment,
share our sorrow, ease our pain.
