With empty hands I came on earth,
And in a manger lay.
I came to bring my Father’s love,
And show that I’m the Way.

My empty hands are reaching out,
To those who call my name.
I’ll protect them always,
The dumb, the blind, the lame.

Come to me with empty hands,
that you may all be filled,
with every grace and blessing,
just as our Father willed.

The power of my Spirit
is reaching many lands,where people,
turning from the world ,seek God,
with empty hands

If you acknowledge me as King,
and give all back to me,
I will take your empty hands,
And lead you home to me.

FRANK DURKIN.
