I'll lift my hands higher
to give you everything I have
With my palms to the sky
You are my God, you are my life

So let me fall into your arms
You are my father, I am your son
Let me be the hands and feet
Of the life you lead

I want give you the praise
And live with the fire you blaze

So here I am
Lifting my hands higher
Giving you everything I have
My palms to the sky
My God, you are my life

I have always been shy. In church I'd always have my hands in my pockets or staring at the stage floor but when I really believe what I'm saying, nothing can stop me from lifting my hands higher.
