Dreams slipping out of my grasp, I seem to be losing hold(14)
I know I don’t fall through your hands, you have a hold of me (14)
So hard to grasp the concept your true undeserving love (14)
I need you to help me let the things of this world to slip (14)

Knowing I have my life ahead of me, I find I am in your grasp (17)
I don’t need to grasp the things of this world for they pass away like dust (17)
I never slip out of your grasp, you will never let me go; hold me (17)
The concepts you lay before me, I need to learn how to truly grasp (17)

My thoughts, my dreams, all of which I had a grip on (12)
I surrender to you I need love and grace Lord (12)
All the things I thought I had a grasp on take Lord (12)
All I have to hold onto is you, you’re my all (12)

You have taken me within your grasp (9)
I have taken a hold of your love (9)
Sin has no grasp on me anymore (9)
You died on the cross to set me free(9)

I want to feel the same things you feel (9)
These hands were made to bring you glory (9)
Shape me into the person you want (9)
The hands that bled hold me with your love (9)

Everything is in your hands, things that are unseen, thoughts that are left unsaid (18)
I don’t know how to hold onto something that I can’t see, but I trust you
(18) Your watching me, your holding my hand, your hands created me so complex
(18) I long to grab a hold of your hand, I long to grasp your mercy and love (18)

Your palms show me what true sacrifice really is (12)
Your life has taught me the true meaning of love Lord (12)
Your hands have crafted me with loving tender care (12)
Hands that remind me that for my sins blood was shed (12)

In your hands I find this special kind of love (11)
A love so rich so real so freeing so big (11)
I look around when I feel I am dying (11)
I feel your embrace, when I feel your touch on me (11)

Sometimes I feel as if my faith is only skin deep (13)
Sometimes I need something much bigger than myself Lord (13)
Sometimes I feel as if good works make me what I am (13)
I don’t know how to keep this faith real not just a fix (13)

Tired of thinking of what I could’ve been (11)
I don’t want to think of what I should’ve been Lord (11)
When all is said and I stand before you spent (11)
Break this phase that I’m in, I turn and repent (11)

A roller coaster of emotion, I need to sort things out (14)
I want this life to be all it was created to be (14)
When I stand; judgment day, I long to hear you say well done (14)
This is the person I was called to be after your heart (14)

The relationship I have with God, is not just a one way street (16)
The real fulfillment starts; I ask myself how I can live for him (16)
After I get over it not being about myself but you (16)
So many times I try to find true joy, in what I have to gain (16)
