When you find that your hands are empty,
may you rest in the completion of your work
When you find that your hands are empty,
may you resist the lie of inadequacy
When you find that your hands are empty,
may it remind you of your need to be filled
When you find that your hands are empty,
may it reassure you of his deep desire to fill you to overflowing
When you find that your hands are empty,
may you realize that those hands were as much the gift as what was given
When you find that your hands are empty,
may you receive with joy his hands in your own
And when you find yourself hand-in-hand with the one has everything to give,
may you reach out in his strength to make something new.
