These Hands (Hirschhorn)

This recording used for video below is from Cantor Linda's 2013 Amazed album. You can buy the album at http://www.lindahirschhorn.com/cds/amazed/

The song was originally recorded (with a very different feel!) on Vocolot's 2002 Heart Beat album.

When these hands are baking bread
My heart is peaceful, I am strong
I am bound by a common thread
Woven into a women's song
When these hands are baking bread
Ancient rhythms move me on
Am G Am - / G - C - //: F G Am - / G - C - ://

Come-a-day, come-a-night
Come-a-morning (repeat)
Am - C - / F G Am - / G - C - / F G Am -

(interlude:) G - Am - (2x)

When these hands are planting seeds
My heart is peaceful, I am strong
I am bound by a common need
Woven into a mother's song
When these hands are planting seeds
Ancient rhythms move me on

When these hands are holding you
My heart is peaceful, I am strong
I am bound by a common truth
Woven into a lover's song
When my hands are holding you
Ancient rhythms move me on

(last verse:) Am G Am - / G - C - / F G Am - / G - C - / F - Am - / Dsus4 - G -
