Thomas has a new love in his life
It’s not a possession or a wife
Thomas said he heard a higher call
It was something spiritual
He ain’t been around in a week or two
Nobody’s seen Thomas since they crucified the Jews
They said Thomas hid inside a shell
And he’s building walls into a prison cell
Thomas doubts he’ll ever love again
Says he just can’t stand to love and lose a friend
He said it leaves an awlful hole
Reaches down into his very soul
Thomas is a man not big on words
Believes in what he sees not what he’s heard
Till Jesus said come put your hand in mine
And see the scars that my love left behind
He got some hands on experience
That was unlike anything he’d known before
He got some hands on experience
When he reached out and touched
The one he loved so much back then
Hands on experience
Thomas has a new love in his life
