Holy Hands Lyrics by DOE
Verse
Last in the line up
Try to keep my head up
I was so entangled
I was mangled from the ankles up
Trapped by my own stuff
Past had me hand cuffed
Day-to-day was torture
With my future lookin’ so rough
You changed the direction I was running to
You gave me Your spirit and it made me new
Now when I see me
I look like You
Chorus
Holy
You made me holy
You gave me holy hands
I’m lifting up holy hands
Verse 2
Washed by the Blood
Passed through the water
Got baptized
Made us official
Now I’m on a mission and I’m handing out eviction to the enemy
You can’t stay with me
You changed the direction I was running to
You gave me Your spirit and it made me new
Now when I see me
I look like You
Chorus
Holy
You made me holy
Holy hands
I’m lifting up holy hands
Holy
Holy (Holy, holy, holy yeah)
Oh You gave me holy hands
I’m lifting up holy hands
Bridge
The shame it weighed me down
Chains held me to the ground
But Your love it called me out
I walk on water now
The shame it weighed me down
Chains held me to the ground
But Your love it called me out
I walk on water now
Chorus
Holy
Holy
I’m lifting up holy hands
‘Cause You gave me holy hands
Holy
Holy
Yeah I’m lifting up these holy hands
Oh, I thank You for holy hands
Outro
I thank You Lord
I thank You for these holy hands
Giving me another chance
To worship at Your thrown again
I thank You for these holy hands
