Lord, I lift up my hands in surrender to Your will As I wait in Your Presence-quiet, listening, still My hands are lifted up, but my heart is bowing down I’m aware I’m in the Presence of a King of great renown My hands are lifted up to receive descending grace It’s funneled to my heart so worldly thoughts can be displaced Fill me with Your Spirit and Your holy fire My renewed mind is set on what Your Spirit desires I invite You, Lord, to search my sinful heart A surrendered posture is where I need to start All my selfish ways uncover, so my eyes can see The love of God for everyone so I can love like Thee Debbie Furey July 29, 2021 1 Timothy 2:8 – “Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.” Romans 8:5 – “Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.” Romans 8:1–17 As I was praying this morning, I asked the Lord what was on His heart. The words, “Holy hands,” appeared in my mind. So, I wrote it down. Then I asked the Lord, “What about holy hands?” In my mind I heard, “What does My Word say about holy hands?” So, I looked up that phrase and found it in 1Timothy. Holy hands are connected to a surrendered heart. Could that be why so many people find it hard to lift their hands in worship?
