"Empty My Hands" lyrics - TENTH AVENUE NORTH

TENTH AVENUE NORTH
"Empty My Hands"
(Mike Donehey)

I've got voices in my head and they are so strong
And I'm getting sick of this oh Lord, how long
Will I be haunted by the fear that I believe
My hands like locks on cages
Of these dreams I can't set free

But if I let these dreams die
If I lay down all my wounded pride
If I let these dreams die
Will I find that letting go lets me come alive

[Chorus:]
So empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with you
[2x]

These voices speak instead. what's right is wrong
And I'm giving into them, please Lord, how long
Will I be held captive by the lies that I believe
My heart's in constant chaos and it keeps me so deceived

But if I let these dreams die
If I could just lay down my dark desire
If I let these dreams die
Will I find you brought me back to life

[Chorus 2x]

[Bridge:]
'Cause my mind is like a building burning down
I need your grace to keep me, keep me from the ground
And my heart is just a prisoner of war
A slave to what it wants and to what I'm fighting for

[Chorus 2x]

With you
I need you now
