Out of My Hands Lyrics
All my restless heart could do is cry I stepped on out into the night The tides turned again and nothing felt right I searched for truth I sought your light And all my restless heart could do is cry
Chorus: Everything I held is out of my hands Everything you bless is not what I'd planned Not what I'd seen, not what I'd dreamed
My hearts hope will rise and fall with the wind A gentle breeze will blow me over again I'm walking unstable
And all the things I held Were dragging my heart so far down And the things I'd dreamed were nothing, Nothing as they'd seemed And then I question you And doubt you as the God I know But all over again, you saved me from myself
By Jacob McGinnis,Matt Warren and Nathan Stephens
Song Description: "'Out of My Hands' started out of a feeling instead of a story. Driving home from the music store one day, I felt as though God's hand wasn't on the dreams that the band had invested so much into. I remember feeling exactly as the lyric in the song says; "my heart's hope will rise and fall with the wind. A gentle breeze will blow me over again." The smallest thing could throw me into a state of depression and hopelessness. God laid it upon my heart that the things that are our dreams aren't always the same as the dreams that He has for our lives. A "turning" occurred driving home from work that day, and my heart began to seek out what God would have for our band." - Jacob McGinnis (The Turning)
