Out of My Hands, by Matthew West

There have been many trials that I have had to overcome in my life. Many times, I couldn't think of a reason why they were happening. I cried myself to sleep on many nights, trying to figure out a reason why. I couldn't understand the pain I was going through or why I had to endure it. Very few things made sense to me during that time. I tried to make keep my life together, but it kept falling apart. I didn't know where to go or how to fix anything.

One day I was blasing my iPod, in hopes to find some comfort in music. This one song started playing. It talked about how some things were out of my control and that we should give them up to God. He is the only one who can make sense of all of our troubles and use it to do His will. He has a plan for our lives. We're not supposed to make sense of it all. If we do, we lose sight of what God's will for us. It's hard to surrender control, but when we're surrendering to God, we're not losing anything.

It's okay to say that it's out of hands.

Out of My Hands: Matthew West (Album: Happy)

There you go changing my plans again
There you go shifting my sands again
For reasons I don't understand again
Lately I don't have a clue

Just when I start liking what I see
There you go changing my scenery
I never know where you're taking me
But I'm trying just to follow you

It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into your will
And it's out of my hands

There you go healing these scars again
Showing me right where you are again
I'm helpless, and that's where I start again
I'm giving it all up to you

It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into your will
And it's out of my hands

Move me, make me
Choose me, change me
Send me, shake me
Find me, remind me
The past is behind me
Take it all away
Take it all from me, I pray

It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into your will
And it's out of my hands
