here are my hands
they’re small, they’re small and
here are my hands
they’re small and trembling
here are my arms
they’re weak, they’re weak but
here are my arms
they’re weak but willing
here are my eyes
they burn with memories
here are my eyes
they’re teared and tired
here are my feet
they’re slow, they’re slow but
here are my feet
they’re stumbling to You now
and God, i know
there still is so much i just don’t know
and God, i believe
Your Kingdom can still be built in me
so here is my heart
here is my soul
take me in part
take me in whole, whole, whole
i want to be whole, whole, whole
here are my hands
they’re small, they’re small and
here are my hands
they’re small and trembling
here are my dreams
they’re me protected
here are my dreams
so please be gentle now
and God, i know
there still is so much i just don’t know
and God, i believe
Your Kingdom can still be built on me
so here is my heart
here is my soul
Your kingdom come
my kingdom go, go, go
i’m letting it go, go, go
i’m letting it go, go, go
i’m letting it go, go, go

a couple years ago, finding myself in a deeply tired and un-centered place, I took a little solo retreat with my journal, a few books, and guitar. it was a difficult and healing couple of days, and God opened me up to two profound realities. first, I am weaker and more fragile than I know, and it’s best to just be honest and admit it. second, God is big enough to still use messy people like me in His Revolution. I am quite small and weak, but i’ve been invited to be a part of something huge and beautiful. that's grace.
musically, this song is incredibly simple and straight forward. It’s fundamentally a prayer, with guitar.
