LAY YOUR HANDS

This is a well-loved hymn of healing and reconciliation, widely sung during the Communion rite or at healing services. The words speak directly to Christ, asking for His gentle touch to bring peace, forgiveness, and restoration. It is a song that draws the congregation into a quiet, reflective mood, reminding us of Jesus' ministry to the brokenhearted and the blind.

In the choir loft, this piece is often approached with a soft, prayerful tone. The simple, flowing melody allows the harmony to shine without overpowering the deep sincerity of the text. When the choir sings "Lord we come to you through one another," it highlights the communal nature of our faith and our shared need for God's grace. It is a beautiful choice for moments of quiet adoration or when the church gathers to pray for the sick.
