Ladies Auxiliary Booklet 1960-2010

LADIES’ AUXILIARY SUPPORTING MINISTERIAL EDUCATION SINCE 1960

Dr. Martin Luther College Ladies’ Auxiliary 1960-1994

SIMPLE HANDS Reaching down, lifting little ones that need their mother’s touch Wiping tears, sweetly calming when the day gets rough.

Loving strokes, sending toddlers off to sleep at night Off to school, blow a kiss to make them feel alright.

Simple hands, God’s instruments of love Filled with grace that only comes from Him above Simple hands, how many tasks you do each day Simple hands, held together as I pray.

Giving back, oh the blessings have been great indeed, Filling the cup of those who are in want or need Bringing joy to lives that only knew discouragement.

Simple hands, clap together and encourage them!

Pass it on, share the grace that’s been given you Hand to hand, many hearts can be reached Simple hands, praise the Lord for his gift of love Lord, use my hands to pray and praise and teach.
