I Lift My Hands

Verse 1

They gather round and count the cost

Every voice is saying this is far too much

I only passed along the word

Not my burden to design

Hands are open empty still

Pre-Chorus

So I lift my hands and I let it go

I lift my hands and I let it go

Chorus

It was never mine to carry

It was never mine to hold

It was never mine to carry

I just follow what I'm told

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, I let it go

Oh-oh, I let it go

Verse 2

Maybe I'm the one who's wrong

Maybe I misheard the call

But I felt it burning in my chest

A voice I could not outrun

So I'll stand here either way

Pre-Chorus

And I lift my hands and I let it go

I lift my hands and I let it go

Chorus

It was never mine to carry

It was never mine to hold

It was never mine to carry

I just follow what I'm told

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, I let it go

Oh-oh, I let it go

Bridge

Not my word, not my way

Not my strength to make them stay

I am small, you are sure

Let your promise be the cure

Chorus

It was never mine to carry

It was never mine to hold

It was never mine to carry

I just follow what I'm told

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, I let it go

Oh-oh, I let it go

Oh-oh, I let it go
