Phillip LaRue
Empty My Hands
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
Empty my hands, fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You

[Post-Chorus]
With You
With You

[Verse 2]
These voices speak instead, what's right is wrong
And I'm giving into them, oh, 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
[Pre-Chorus]
But if I let these dreams die
If I could just lay down my dark desire
'Cause if I let these dreams die
Will I find You brought me back to life?

[Chorus]
So, empty my hands, fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You, oh Lord
Empty my hands, fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You

[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]
#CHORUS
So, won't You empty my hands? Fill up my heart?
Capture my mind with You?
Oh, empty my hands, fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You, with You

[Outro]
(Ha, ha, ha, ha-ah)
(Ha, ha, ha, ha-ah) with You
(Ha, ha, ha, ha-ah) I need You now
(Ha, ha, ha, ha-ah) I need You now, love
(Ha, ha, ha, ha-ah) with You
(Ha, ha, ha, ha-ah) with You
(Ha, ha, ha, ha-ah) I need You now, love
