Two Hands

Townes Van Zandt

by Townes Van Zandt



I got two hands

I wanna clap my hands together

I got two legs

I wanna dance to heavens door

I got one heart

I gonna fill it up with up Jesus

and I ain't gonna think about trouble anymore



Well now, this old world sometimes it does get lonesome

and it's many a grown man has hung his head and cried

down in your soul there's one that won't desert you

ain't it fine to have the Saviour by your side



Now the Lord resides inside a house of golden

and faith is the door and love is the key

and warm is the light pouring from his mighty windows

and that light, my friend, it shines on you and me



When the wind blows on that faithful morning

and I close my eyes, Lord, and fly my body home

I don't want my friends to cry no tears about me

I'll be batheing in the glory of the throne



I got two hands

I wanna clap my hands together

I got two legs

I wanna dance to heavens door

I got one heart

I gonna fill it up with up Jesus

and I ain't gonna think about trouble anymore
