Clasped Hands

I clasp my hands in prayer,
and close my eyes in remembrance
blood spilled, tears fell, people mocked
on the cross you hanged,
nothing more than an empty vessel
until you were dead and buried
but the grave wasn't the end,
for you conquered it and death
to take away the power of sin
and reunite me with you
I clasp my hands in prayer
for the hope that I have found
in my Savior and Lord
and the strength to go on
through this life's struggles
for the one day it will be worth it
beyond this earth
