(Chorus) I will praise you. I will praise you,
Lord, for you have rescued me.

from the grave,
restored me to life from those

My Hand is Yours to Hold
05:37
|
|||
|
I believe I will live through the
gifts that I give.
For they are not mine to hide,
but to share from deep inside.
I’m alive! I’m alive! I’m alive
and when you’re broken and cold,
my hand is yours to hold.
How can I be as strong as to
forgive when I’m done wrong?
And seek forgiveness for my sin,
precious Lord, where can I begin?
Will I stand and serve with justice and grace?
Will I live and meet my fears face to face?
Will I love with a passion so bold?
Will I give my hands to hold?
God, teach me to serve so I may love.
Christ, guide me with truth; may
wisdom fill my heart.
Take me, shape me, teach me reveal me;
help me see who I am!
I am alive.
Friends in Christ, have you seen
that our world is suff’ring?
Will you walk the dark and barren land
bearing God’s light in your hands?
Will you stand and serve with justice and grace?
Will you live and meet my fears face to face?
Will you love with a passion so bold?
Are your hands ours to hold?
We will stand and serve with justice and grace.
We will live and meet my fears face to face.
As we love with a passion so bold,
our hands are yours to hold.
Our hands are yours to hold.
