Take These Open Hands

August 20, 2014

Check out this song and music video that our Summer Project students put together. The lyrics are below.

Take These Open Hands
Verse 1:
Take these open hands
Take them as you please
I’ve got this gift alone
It’s got me on my knees.
I’ve got something to share,
Words that I must speak,
My path it has been lost
Not laid in front of me
Take this open heart
Its blood has been released
I’ve lost its warmth inside
I’ve lost its steady beat

Verse 2:
Take these open hands
They’ve stunted all my speech
I’ve got one life and time
Bring the light from inside of me
I’ve got something to share
Words that I must speak
My path it has been lost
Not laid in front of me

Chorus:
Take these open hands
I know that I can reach
Another with what I have
Make purpose live through me

Bridge:
Purpose died on the night
I fixed my eyes on what was in my hands
Instead of where it came from

Bridge 2:
Layer 1:
Take this open heart
Reach down from above
Keep it in your love
Purpose be my song
I know there is some
Strength in letting go

Layer 2:
You are mine
You are in my love
Purpose is calling
Oh this I know

Layer 3:
“My name is in your love
Calling me
Oh this I know”
