Dolly Parton - Master's Hand Lyrics

"Twas battered and scared, and the auctioneer
Thought it scarcely worth his while
To waste much time on the old violin,
But he held it up with a smile.
"What am I bidden, good folks," he cried,

"Who'll start bidding for me?
A dollar, a dollar - now who"ll make it two
Two dollars, and who"ll make it three?
"Three dollars once, three dollars twice,
Going for three". . . but no!
From the room far back a gray-haired man
Came forward and picked up the bow;
Then wiping the dust from the old violin,
And tightening up the strings,
He played a melody,pure and sweet,
As sweet as an angel sings.

The music ceased and the auctioneer
With a voice that was quiet and low,
Said: "What am I bidden for the old violin?"
And he held it up with the bow;
"A thousand dollars - and who'll make it two?
Two thousand - and who'll make it three?
Three thousand once, three thousand twice
And going - and gone," said he.
The people cheered, but some of them cried,
"We do not quite understand -
What changed its worth?" The man replied:
"The touch of the masters hand."
And many a man with life out of tune,
And battered and torn with sin,
Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd.
Much like the old violin.
A "mess of pottage," a glass of wine,
A game and he travels on,
He's going once, and going twice -
He's going - and almost gone!
But the MASTER comes, and the foolish crowd,
Never can quite understand,
The worth of a soul, and the change that's wrought
By the touch of the MASTER'S hand.

In the days before the flood
The world grew wicked and corrupt
But Noah was a good man
And the Lord unto him came
And He said to Noah
Go build an ark
Noah did and the sky got dark
And a great flood destroyed everything
Except for Noah and his wife
And their three sons and their wives
And a pair of every kind of creature
Walkin' in the land
And the people mocked
And they made fun
But ol' Noah worked 'til it was done
'Cause he was holding to the master's hand

[Chorus]
The master's hand is always held out to us
And It will lead us to the promised land
And the evil of this world cannot outdo us
If we are holdin' to the master's hand

[Verse 2]
Three Hebrew children in days of old
Were marched into the fiery coals
'Cause they would not deny the Lord
Would not obey command
And the furnace roared like a mighty storm
But the Hebrew children saw no harm
The flame was smothered by the master's hand
The Hebrew children loved their God
And with them in the flames He trod
To show the world that he was King
And ruler over man
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Had no fear of the fiery coals
'Cause they were holdin' to the master's hand

[Chorus]
The master's hand is always held out to us
And It will lead us to the promised land
And the evil of this world cannot outdo us
If we are holdin' to the master's hand
