Lifted Hands

 

I lift my hands for all the world to see,

But Jesus my heart’s not surrendered to Thee.

I use the symbolic, sign of surrender,

But Jesus from fears I’m not ripped asunder. 

I bask in the surrender of ritual,

But Jesus I lack the Spiritual.

I hold up my hands in surrendered plea,

But Jesus my life shows not truth of Thee.

I lift my hands high, showing I am free,

But Jesus, there’s no full surrender of me. 

I lift my hands and heart before You Jesus,

Save me from this life most disastrous.

Amen!
