when dinah held my hand / jesus is on the mainline - michael card lyrics

[verse 1: michael card]
she was haloed round in kindness
i was nervous and alone
a stranger come into her world
the church that was her home
she’d been taught to love the stranger
as only the suffering can
that sunday morning set me free
when dinah held my hand

[verse 2: michael card]
the service was about to start
it was my destiny
the only place, beside her
it was waiting there for me
without a word she reached across
and gently took my hand
and the path i’ve traveled ever since
that morning it began

[chorus: michael card]
she reached across three hundred years
of suffering and pain
she reached across the great divide
of the color of our skins
when she reached across that empty pew
then i understood
that all the hate that meant to harm
the lord had used for good
[verse 3: michael card]
she was strong and she was kind
but gentle when she spoke her mind
jesus is on the mainline
and you can tell him what you want
by the force of her own gravity
her outrageous generosity
that morning i began to see
that she’d adopted me!

[verse 4: michael card]
life is made of moments
we don’t always understand
sometimes the meaning isn’t clear
there’s no specific plan
each moment has been set in place
before the world began
like the time that sunday morning
when dinah held my hand
like the time that sunday morning
when dinah held my hand

[verse 1: choir]
jesus is on the mainline
tell him what you want
jesus is on the mainline
tell him what you want
jesus is on the mainline
tell him what you want
call him up and tell him what you want

[verse 2: choir]
if you need your sins forgiven
tell him what you want
if you need your sins forgiven
tell him what you want
if you need your sins forgiven
tell him what you want
call him up and tell him what you want

[verse 3: choir]
call him up, call him up
tell him what you want
call him up, call him up
tell him what you want
call him up, call him up
tell him what you want
call him up and tell him what you want
[verse 4: choir]
jesus is on the mainline
tell him what you want
jesus is on the mainline
tell him what you want
jesus is on the mainline
tell him what you want
call him up and tell him what you want
