Lyrics

On my own
I've been falling to the pressure
There's a weight
That's been heavy on my shoulders
I need You to lift me up
I'm so tired
I'm trying to make up new excuses
Faking smiles
Trying to hide I'm only human
I need You to lift me up
'Cause on my own is not enough
Every time You speak out
And say the words I need to hear
Every time You reach out
I can feel His love so near
I hope you know
For me you are the hands of God
I don't doubt
God is with me in the valley
But I believe
He gave me you to remind me
The face of love and answered prayer
(Answered prayer)
The hands of God with me right here
Every time You speak out
And say the words I need to hear
Every time you reach out
I can feel His love so near
I hope you know
To me you are the hands of God
Every time You listen to me
'Cause You know I need a friend
Every time you stop what you're doing
Help me find my way again
I hope you know
To me you are the hands of God
You are the hand upon my shoulder
When I'm hurting
You are the voice of truth and love
When I am searching
For every time you reach
To help me in my need
One day Jesus will say
"you did it for Me"
Every time you speak out
And say the words I need to hear
Every time You reach out
I can feel His love so near
I hope you know
To me you are (to me You are)
The hands of God
Every time you listen to me
'cause You know I need a friend
Every time you stop what you're doing
Help me find my way again
I hope you know (I hope you know)
To me you are (to me you are)
The hands of God
