Touch Of The Master's Hand - The Booth Brothers[00:00:00]
Well it was battered and scarred[00:00:17]
And the auctioneer felt it was hardly worth his while[00:00:20]
To waste much time on the old violin[00:00:26]
But he held it up with a smile[00:00:31]
He said it sure ain't much[00:00:34]
But it's all we've got left[00:00:37]
I guess we ought to sell it too[00:00:39]
Oh now who'll start the bid on this old violin?[00:00:45]
Just one more and we'll be through[00:00:50]
And then he cried one give me one dollar[00:00:55]
Who'll make it two?[00:00:59]
Only two dollars[00:01:01]
Who'll make it three?[00:01:03]
Three dollars twice now that's a good price[00:01:06]
Who's gonna bid for me?[00:01:10]
Raise up your hand[00:01:15]
Now don't wait any longer[00:01:16]
The auction's about to end[00:01:19]
Who's got four just one dollar[00:01:23]
More to bid on this old violin?[00:01:26]
Well the air was hot and the people stood[00:01:42]
Around as the sun was setting low[00:01:46]
From the back of the crowd a gray[00:01:51]
Haired man came forward and picked up the bow[00:01:54]
He wiped the dust from the old violin[00:01:59]
And he tightened up the strings[00:02:04]
And then he played out a melody pure[00:02:10]
And sweet sweeter than the Angels sing[00:02:14]
And then the music stopped and the auctioneer[00:02:21]
With a voice that was quiet and low[00:02:26]
He said now what am I bid[00:02:30]
For this old violin and he held it up with a bow[00:02:33]
Then he cried out one give me one thousand[00:02:45]
Who'll make it two only two thousand[00:02:48]
Who'll make it three?[00:02:52]
Three thousand twice you know that's a good price[00:02:55]
Come on who's gonna bid for me?[00:02:59]
And the people cried out[00:03:03]
What made the change?[00:03:05]
We don't understand[00:03:08]
Then the auctioneer stopped[00:03:14]
And said with a smile[00:03:16]
It was the touch of the Master's Hand[00:03:20]
You know there's many a man with his life out of tune[00:03:38]
Battered and scarred with sin[00:03:43]
And he's auctioned cheap to a thankless world[00:03:47]
Much like that old violin[00:03:51]
But then the Master comes[00:03:57]
And the old foolish crowd they never understand[00:04:00]
The worth of a soul and the change that is wrought[00:04:06]
Just by one touch of the Master's Hand[00:04:11]
Then he cried out one give me one thousand[00:04:18]
Who'll make it two?[00:04:22]
Only two thousand[00:04:24]
Who'll make it three?[00:04:26]
Three thousand twice you know that's a good price[00:04:29]
Come on who's gonna bid for me?[00:04:32]
And the people cried out[00:04:37]
What made the change?[00:04:39]
We don't understand[00:04:42]
Then the auctioneer stopped and said with a smile[00:04:48]
It was the touch[00:04:54]
It was the touch of the Master's Hand[00:05:02]
