Gene Watson - A Gifted Hand lyrics

The artist draws a portrait With a likeness strong & true The potter spins his wheel With a talent held by few And you are also blessed With a gift God gave to you You took a weathered heart of stone And did what no one else could do You found love in the water of a spring long dry You broke through the hard shell of a man You breathed life into his soul that was cold as if he'd died I've been touched by a gifted hand I've found love in your gifted hand Words live on the pages When written down with tears A castle built of stone can last a thousand years And you have forged a chain of silver pure & strong That will bind our hearts together until this world is gone You found love in the water of a spring long dry You broke through the hard shell of a man You breathed life into his soul that was cold as if he'd died I've been touched by a gifted hand I've found love in your gifted hand
