Lyrics
Oh friends, our cherished friends you delight the heart of God each day
You give Christ’s life to those who walk through Hope’s House doors
You live His life, become His hands and heart to fragile lives and show His way
You hold close His little ones, His hopeless ones, the ones that He adores
Chorus
Thank you for holding the trembling hands of those God calls His own
Thank you for dimming the fears and challenges they face each day
Thank you for standing with those who used to stand alone
Thank you for the warm hugs, loving words, and their freedom to play
Verse
Your love spreads far beyond Hope’s House doors,
You’re building honest lives that modify communities
Your days may seem like dirty floors and endless chores,
But you’re creating dreams in dreamless lives and building legacies,
Verse
With every act of love, you’re moving needy hearts to brighter eyes
You are planting precious fruit in receptive little gardens
You give your best when nothings left, when you’re needs are set aside
You live beyond your needs to become the ones God sends
Chorus
Thank you for holding the trembling hands of God’s Little ones
Thank you for dimming the fears and challenges they face each day
Thank you for standing with those who used to stand alone
Thank you for the warm hugs, loving words, and their freedom to play
Outro
Sweet, sweet friends it’s an honor to know and work with you
You’re a team of angels showing love with every smile you give
The caring heart, the light of Jesus love is what His children see,
You’re our Savior’s hands and feet, giving life so others live
Chorus
Thank you for holding the trembling hands of those God calls His own
Thank you for dimming the fears and challenges they face each day
Thank you for standing with those who used to stand alone
Thank you for the warm hugs, loving words, and their freedom to play
Their freedom to play
