I Lift My Hands
Chris Tomlin · And If Our God Is For Us [2010]
His love is deeper than the sea
His mercy, it is unfailing
His arms are a fortress for the weak
Let faith arise
Let faith arise
I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, You are my strength
As I pour out my heart, these things I remember
You are faithful, God, forever
Be still, there is a river
That flows from Calvary's tree
A fountain for the thirsty
Pure grace that washes over me
So let faith arise
Let faith arise
Open my eyes
Open my eyes
I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, You are my strength
As I pour out my heart, these things I remember
You are faithful, God
You are faithful, God, forever
I Lift My Hands
Chris Tomlin's 'I Lift My Hands' serves as a central track on the 2010 album 'And If Our God Is For Us,' embodying the earnest, acoustic-driven worship style that defines his discography. Released during a period where Tomlin solidified his position as a leading figure in contemporary Christian music, the recording reflects a shift toward more intimate, guitar-led arrangements while maintaining his signature vocal clarity. The song complements other works from this era, such as 'I Will Follow,' contributing to a thematic focus on personal devotion and communal praise. Its inclusion in the album's catalog underscores Tomlin's ability to blend traditional hymnody structures with modern production, creating a sound that resonates deeply within the genre of contemporary worship.
