I Lift My Hands
Faith Arises: Embracing the Healing Love and Unfailing Mercy
Lyrics
Be still, there is a healer
Encouragement to be calm, as there is a source of healing
His love is deeper than the sea
Describes the profound depth of God's love
His mercy, it is unfailing
Highlights the reliability of God's mercy, which never fails
His arms are a fortress for the weak
God's arms are portrayed as a protective stronghold for the vulnerable
Let faith arise
Call to let faith rise up, emphasizing a positive and confident outlook
Let faith arise
-I lift my hands to believe again
Expressing an act of raising hands in a gesture of surrender and belief
You are my refuge, You are my strength
Affirmation that God is both a refuge and a source of strength
As I pour out my heart, these things I remember
Recollection of personal experiences while pouring out one's heart
You are faithful, God, forever
Acknowledgment of God's everlasting faithfulness
Be still, there is a river
Encouragement to be still, with a reference to a river symbolizing life and vitality
That flows from Calvary's tree
Reference to the redemptive flow from the cross at Calvary
A fountain for the thirsty
Depiction of God's grace as a cleansing and refreshing fountain
Pure grace that washes over me
-So let faith arise
Continuation of the call for faith to rise and openness to God's guidance
Let faith arise
-Open my eyes
Request for spiritual insight and awareness
Open my eyes
-I lift my hands to believe again
Repetition of the act of lifting hands in renewed belief and trust
You are my refuge, You are my strength
Reiteration of God as a reliable refuge and source of strength
As I pour out my heart, these things I remember
Reflection on past experiences and the faithfulness of God
You are faithful, God
Affirmation of God's eternal and unwavering faithfulness
You are faithful, God, forever
