I wasted a rescue Abandoned the mission I've failed by my own hand And watched it all go wrong You said 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 give 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 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 (out of my hands) You grow where the light is Like trees in the highlands 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 give my heart away And it's out of my hands (out of my hands) It was from the start (was from the start) In light of what You've done for me (no matter what you've done) In light of what You've done for me (no matter what you've done) You lifted my head (lifted my head) Set me apart (set me apart) In light of what You've done for me (light of what you've done) This is what You've done for me (this is what you've done) It's out of my hands (out of my hands) It's out of my hands (out of my hands) There's nothing in the world that I can offer Nothing in the world that I can stand apart Apart from You Apart from You There's nothing in my life Nothing in my life that 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 (lifted my head) Set me apart (you set me apart) In light of what You've done (light of what you've done) In light of what You've done for me Oh, it's out of my hands (it's out of my hands) It was from the start (was from the start) In light of what You've done for me (light of what you've done) In light of what You've done for me (light of what you've done) You lifted my head (lifted my head) Set me apart (set me apart) In light of what You've done for me (light of what you've done) This is what You've done for me (this is what you've done) It's out of my hands (out of my hands) It's out of my hands Everything I have, Lord (out of my hands) Everything I have It's out of my hands (out of my hands) It's out of my hands Oh, it's out of my hands
