JJ Heller: Your Hands


I can't remember how I came across this artist or this song in particular but I'm very glad I did. This song is really speaking to me where I am in my life right now. It's a wonderful reminder that I am a work in progress yet this life is more than about me and that Lord is in control even when it's beyond my understanding.

"Your Hands"
BY KATIE HERZIG, JJ AND DAVID HELLER
From the album Painted Red

I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn’t there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That you would take my pain away
You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crooked lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands

When you walked upon the earth
You healed the broken, lost and hurt
I know you hate to see me cry
One day you will set all things right
Yeah, one day you will set all things right

When my world is shaking, heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave your hands

Your hands that shaped the world
Are holding me
They hold me still
