Hands

[mrskyajacobs]

My aunt danielle introduced me to this song and jewel at a very young age I have absolutly fell in love.

[alicat6884]

Beautiful! Sent this video to a friend whose uncle is dying for inspiration!

[mayqueen73]

Your video is so beautiful! I wept!

[wally0516]

i live in japan.

just yesterday,we had a big earthquake,

followed by tidal waves and fire everywhere.

thousand of people had died.

this song inspires me,even this hardest time.

[southlinefire10]

3:45 <3

[hippofat10]

You had me in tears with this. It was wonderful Thank you.

[MyLaydy]

@hippofat10 Thank you. I'm always somewhat amazed to find that it has moved someone as much as it did me. ~~ Lynn

[dextarw]

To me this is one of the best song of all time.

[laniseaman1]

~We are Reflections of God...Praise be to God...He is Worthy!!!

[jewell77777]

Wow .. I love these images you put to Jewels song..its truly beautiful <3

[Meekseek]

A lovely photographic compilation of precious, hands!

[teenyweenygenie]

Poverty stole your golden shoes

It didn't steal your laughter

And heartache came to visit me

But I knew it wasn't ever after

We'll fight, not out of spite

For someone must stand up for what's right

'Cause where there's a man who has no voice

There, ours shall go singing

In the end, only kindness matters

We are God's hands, and we are in his hands. Amen.

[JeSuisMonAmiPourTu]

REIKI ROCKS !!!

[missbarefootdancer]

beautifuly done!

[MyLaydy]

@missbarefootdancer Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[funkyalbertachick]

Your interpretation made an already amazing and beautiful song even more awesome. Great job!

[MyLaydy]

@funkyalbertachick Thank you very much! I just tried to enhance what was, as you said, "an already amazing and beautiful song..."

[mtv11lover]

@ace12328

If you don't like it, don't bother listening. Why even bother commenting? It's rude and disrespectful to those who enjoy it and see what it's saying.

-Thank you.

[mtv11lover]

I heard this song at Rachel's Challenge and it really touched my heart. It's been playing in my head non-stop because it has such a good message. They are YOUR hands, that is 100% in your control. You do what you want with them, whether it be to comfort, or like Stizou777 said, kill.

[humanchristian]

beautiful video faith hope and love thanks for sharing the video!

[dinahrose86]

This is absolutely beautiful!

[numchaps20]

fyi,

science has proven we are not reflections of god.

[ownager67]

im doin a project on this song its a nice song but rocks better

[lcj1219]

such beauty,,,,,in the song,in the hands..in your interpetation.

bright blessings to you.

L*

[garnat6]

Love your video. Hands are so expressive. They are an extensision of heart and soul. They are tender & tough. Tiny & young or old & withered from years of hard work. So many images come to mind when I reflect on hands...a photo of grandparents holding hands, a grandson's hand near his deceased grandfather's at his wake, a wedding photo of the parents', grandparents' and wedding couple's hands, my nephew playing with and holding my hand...Hands: they are small but powerful...

[babzz09]

beautiful video. thanks for posting

[udsdancedude]

i love this song sooo much, she is a very god singer. I want to dance to this next year

[lovemyselfforever86]

love this song..99' jewel is beautiful..her smile is her trademark. my hands are strong still yet to acheive what i want.

[AlegnaOpus]

this song inspires me when nights like tonight happens...and I look at my small hands and realize how much i can do with them that makes a difference to some one else...when they don't even recognize it...that's ok, at least I know...only kindness matters even in the most bitchy sh!t I find my self into...

[lilross2k6]

what album is this song from

[Michiganmommyx4]

Beautiful!

[ohdandydeeitsmikey]

this song gives me chills

[babzz09]

that is so beautiful. i love that video. good job

[debyjizi]

This is beautiful. Thank you for making such a wonderful video to an amazing song.

[kylifesaver]

You did an awesome job with this video the song has always been one of my favorites!

[MyLaydy]

Thank you kylifesaver! This song has so much to say -- I just tried to do it justice. Happy Holidays! ~~ Lynn

[Kavisa23]

I'm writing from Peru, I love this song and son many others from her, like foolish games and standing still; they bring me beautiful memories. Love JEWEL

[BellaXTC]

In the end only kindness matters

[brandywatkins16]

i love this song bc my hands are small but there mine

lol love this song

[ktrecartin42191]

i heard this song today at an assembly for rachel's challenge as a follow up rachel's challenge is very powerful and you should accept everyone no matter what

R.I.P Rachel Joy Scott and all the other victims of columbine

[GinaGlocksenFan]

We had that about a month ago. Our school got into major fights a few weeks later so we had a reminder assembly yesterday as a follow up. the whole jr and sr classes stood and held hands.

[julebutt13]

Dracut High?? haha

[GinaGlocksenFan]

Omg yes! LOL!

[julebutt13]

Dracut High?? haha

[jccappoli]

yea soo did i like three days ago i think it was the part that made me tear a lil

[SlapUSilly05]

hahah me to do u go to saint raphels

[lolbethanyxx]

yeah, I discovered this song from the rachel's challenge assembly... <3

RIP Rachel Joy Scott.

<3

[lisak78]

Such a beautiful song. Hard to believe that it came from her days of shop lifting. What a beautiful voice!

[ShadowsintheNight]

this song is about more than rachel's challenge.

your hands are you; no one can make you do ANYTHING with your hands; if they do, they are using their own hands.

will you help someone with those hands- a gentle sympathetic touch, play a musical instrument, or blow a kiss to someone? or, as Stizou777 said (there is a point there), will you kill with those hands?

the choice is yours.

[taulannasman]

Rachel's Challenge is a great presentation. I think her family is doing a great thing to help prevent this kind of stuff to stop in High Schools. Rachel's Uncle came to my high school in West Virginia and he presented rachel's story my entire community because he strongly supports what rachel believed

[YG5kk]

Rachel's Challenge also came to my school today. (Gibbs High School; south Saint Pete.)

It was very touching and sad. I admit that i cried during some of the parts of the presentation, and videos they shown.

It was very sad, and Rachel is one my inspirations and Hero's.

We love you Rachel!

[Jonwpg]

Rachel's challenge came to my high school today in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She was an amazing person.

You will NEVER be forgotten Rachel!

[rodeowyo]

very nice job loved the photos of all the hands! beautiful!

[MyLaydy]

I think we sometimes forget how expressive our hands are -- and how much good we can do with them. ;) Thank you.

[Stizou777]

hands r used to kill :P

[jewel4ever08]

Please tell me where you got this version of the song? I listened to this last night and immediately went searching. So gorgeous.

[MyLaydy]

I found this version on a Christmas cd in my collection. The cd is called "Superstar Christmas In Rome". It's the only track by Jewel on the cd. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[SteffioOoMarc]

this is so beautiful...could cry

[SerenityDarling1]

Pure poetry

[ThatCrewGuy]

her brother came to our school..and i know she's watching ;) so we have to follow her footsteps! <33 thank you rachel

[HanoShroom]

rachel's uncle came to my school to talk about Rachel's Challenge. everyone cried. even the toughest guys cried before it was over. it was so touching and i can honestly say i've been moved by her. she always said she'd touch the world. i hope she's watching.<3 thank you rachel

[sydneycasey2]

i have changed. this day forward my life is nolonger the same <3 God bless you.Rachel said yes,they pulled the trigger),:create a chain,make a change..

[Stizou777]

no offence, but what did rachel say yes to exactly? She was never asked "do you believe in god"... she didn't even see the killers coming, she was outside on the lawn with Richard Castaldo.

You may be thinking of Cassie? Myth has it she said yes, but it was not her either.

A third girl was asked "do you believe in god" she said yes and was shot, she lived though

[Dieromantic88]

how do you know? where you there? and the story is that Cassie and Rachel were singled out because they were Christians and the guns man pointed the gun at Cassie first and asked do you believe in god she said yes and he shot her and she died then he asked Rachel the same she said yes and he shot her and she didn't die so he asked her do you still believe in god and she said yes and he shot her again and she died. both girls died for something they believe in and its a beautiful powerful thing

[Stizou777]

were you there perhaps? I wasn't, but i've read about people, and talked to people that were.

Richard Castaldo was sitting next to Rachel on the lawn, he was the last one to talk to her. The gunmen shot them without notice, witnesses have confirmed this.

You believe in articles published like the week after the massacre, sources that are unreliable.

Cassie? Hahaha, nope, three witnesses have confirmed that she was not asked that question.

Conti...

[Stizou777]

It became a mix-up cuz Craig Scott heard someone ask "do you believe in God", but when the police brought him back to the lib, he pointed in the wrong direction, towards another girl (who was actually asked the question) and she survived.

I suggest you go read 'Columbine' by Dave Cullen, and not 'She said yes' which was published like the year after...

[imedvi]

very beautiful. Everytime i hear this song it touches my heart and makes me want to ¸make a difference.

[figuresk8em101]

heard it @ rachel's challenge today

[JonnysKia]

So beautiful.

[MyLaydy]

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments. I knew that I was touched by this video when I finished it, but I never expected that it would have the same effect on so many. Thanks again.  ~~ Lynn

[ailingnoor]

Beautiful song, beautiful video! :)

[iloverats612]

what is this song about????

[dspm90]

pretty sure it's just about keeping faith, being strong and positive.

[Crazy4Nigahiga]

It's about staying positive during hard times, and keeping faith. She's saying that she doesn't have much, but she'll get by, and she won't quit.

[bridgetvdp22]

beautiful!

[seekingsnavely]

This song has been my lighthouse in the storms of my life more than once in my life...it's an INCREDIBLE SONG!!!!

[JonnaProductions]

i am going to cry... you told me how to care about people. and homeless people.. you opened my eyes... i swear im going to cry. and jewel made this song about 911 and thats sad because when you see it, you just get a feeling about helping. i swear im going to give my neighborhoods hobo 10 dollars and give away my old shoes to africa... thank you for teaching me a lesson!!!!! :)

[PoeticRyan]

its about when she started out singing and was homeless herself n she was about to shoplift a Dress and,she realized that she controlled her hands powerful song tho

[buffaloSabrespommy]

actually this song came out in 1998 almost 4 years before 911 but its good all the same

[IAPOD]

ok i hate to do this cause it sounds like you are going to do alot but this song came out years before 911 ok so people garth brooks did the change for oklahoma not 911 ok and why does thismake you wanna do somthing anyway you should want to just cuase ou should i heard ths on a show my bro like dawson creek or river somthing like that and it was an old show ended like 7 years ago in season 9

[reddevilamm]

My favorite song of all time! This video was very well done, and so inspiring. After several long days working in a nursing home, I was really touched. (No pun intended.) This song is really a form of worship to our Wonderful Creator. Your photos of hands, in various states of expression, highlight the beautiful lyrics of Jewel's song. Thank you for your gift to all of us.

[MyLaydy]

Thank you for your wonderful comment, and also for doing what you do. Working in a nursing home is not a job for just anyone. ~~ Lynn
