Take these hands and lift them up. For I have not the strength to praise you nearly enough. For I have nothing, I have nothing without you. . Take my voice and pour it out.
Today is not a good day. Stranded in the heartache. Watching all the world race. And pass me by. . Like a wave on the ocean. Comes a flood of emotion.
Outside my room looking in. You'll probably find me all over the place. In pictures of me back in school. A slight crooked kid like the smile on my face.
Find me, where You can find me. So tired of hiding behind these songs. And take me where You will take me. Back to a place I've known all along. . The voice that calms the waves, sing out.
If there is a love song left to sing. Then what I have is what I'll bring. Nothing more is more than I can give. . If there is a light left in my eyes.
Take these hands and lift them up. For I have not the strength. To praise You near enough. For I have nothing. I have nothing without You. . Take my voice and pour it out.
I never got anywhere. By running away. I never learned anything. Without a mistake. . I never loved anyone. By playing it safe. It's a long way down. But I'm here right now, so.
Oh, God of heaven come and hem me in. Gather the pieces that are broken. Show me the wonder of You again. Oh, God of heaven. . God of my hope, God of my need.
Take me to the desert. You will be the water. I will drink forever to fill my soul. . And lead me through the fire. Of darkness and desire. You will be my shelter.
