Master's Touch
"The Touch of the Master's Hand", also sometimes called The Old Violin, is a Christian poem written in 1921 by Myra Brooks Welch.
The poem tells of a battered old violin that is about to be sold as the last item at an auction for a pittance, until a violinist steps out of the audience and plays the instrument, demonstrating its beauty and true value. The violin then sells for $3,000 instead of a mere $3. The poem ends by comparing this instrument touched by the hand of a master musician to the life of a sinner that is touched by the hand of God.
