Open Up My Hands

Open Up My Hands is a quiet Christian worship song about surrender, trust, and releasing control into God’s care.

This reflective worship song is written for moments of prayer, humility, and stillness — a gentle expression of letting go and placing trust in God’s leading. When holding on feels heavy, this song invites open hands and a willing heart before God.

Written for personal worship, prayer, reflection, and quiet devotion before God.

Verse 1
I’ve been holding tight to what I can’t keep
Making plans like I can shape the sea
My hands are tired from carrying the weight
Of tomorrow that won’t stay

Verse 2
You don’t ask me for a perfect peace
Only bring the honest parts of me
So I breathe out all the noise and fear
And listen while You’re near

Pre-Chorus
When the road won’t show the next turn
You stay steady, You don’t move
In the quiet, in the waiting
I remember what is true

Chorus
I will open up my hands to You
I will open up my hands to You
You are God, and I am not
I will open up my hands to You

Bridge
Take the worry I keep rehearsing
Take the control I keep defending
Teach my heart a softer answer
Trust You more than what I’m sensing

You can lead me through the unknown
You can hold what I can’t hold
I will rest my yes upon You
Even when I can’t see the road

Final Chorus
I will open up my hands to You
I will open up my hands to You
You are God, and I am not
I will open up my hands to You
