Verse 1:
The boy only wanted to give his mother something
And all of her roses had bloomed
Looking at him as he came rushing in with them
Knowing her roses were doomed
() () () ()
All she could see were some thorns buried deep
() () () ()
And the tears that he cried as she tended his wounds
Chorus: (follow tab)
But she knew it was love
It was one she could understand
He was showing his love
And that s how he hurt his hands
Verse 2:
He still remembered that night as a child on his mother s knee
She held him close as she opened the Bible
And quietly started to read
() () () ()
Then seeing a picture of Jesus he cried out
() () () ()
Momma, He s got some scars just like me
Repeat Chorus
Break:

Verse 3:
Now the boy s grown and moved out on his own
When uncle sam comes along
A foreign affair, but our young men were there
And luck had his number drawn
() () () ()
It wasn t long till our hero was gone
() () () ()
He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross
(tab again)
And they knew it as love
It was one they could understand
He was showing his love
And that s how he hurt his hands
It was one they could understand
He was showing his love
And that s how he hurt his hands.
