Texty: Jars Of Clay. Jars of Clay Presents the Shelter. Out Of My Hands.

I wasted a rescue, abandoned the mission
I failed by my own hand and watched it all go wrong
You say you could save me, that I couldn't save myself
You said that you loved me no matter what I've done

When the light is gone and life is just a dare we take
Still, the fight goes on to get my heart away

And it's out of my hands, it was from the start
In light of what you've done for me, in light of what you've done for me
You lifted my head, you set me apart
In light of what you've done for me this is what you've done for me

It's out of my hands

You grow where the light is like trees in the high lands
We're bent by our own plans to keep us in the dark
And I act like an orphan, forget that you found me
But you came like a whisper and saved me with a spark

When the light is gone and life is just a dare we take
Still, the fight goes on and on to get my heart away

And it's out of my hands, it was from the start
In light of what you've done for me, in light of what you've done for me
You lifted my head, you set me apart
In light of what you've done for me this is what you've done for me

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands

There's nothing in the world that I can offer, nothing in the world
That I can stand upon, apart from you, apart from you
NOthing in my life, nothing in my life
You haven't given to me

It's out of my hands, it was from the start
In light of what you've done, in light of what you've done
You lifted my head, you set me apart
In light of what you 've done for me, in light of what you've done for me, oh

It's out of my hands, it was from the start
In light of what you've done for me, in light of what you've done for me
You lifted my head, you set me apart
In light of what you've done for me this is what you've done for me

It's out of my hands
(It's out of my hands, it's out of my hands)
It's out of my hands
(Everything that I have, Lord, everything that I am)

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
