Out of My Hands Lyrics


I wasted a rescue, abandoned the mission
I failed by my own hand and watched it all go wrong
You say you could save me, that I couldn't save myself
You said that you loved me no matter what I've doneWhen the light is gone and life is just a dare we take
Still, the fight goes on to get my heart awayAnd it's out of my hands, it was from the start
In light of what you've done for me, in light of what you've done for me
You lifted my head, you set me apart
In light of what you've done for me this is what you've done for meIt's out of my handsYou grow where the light is like trees in the high lands
We're bent by our own plans to keep us in the dark
And I act like an orphan, forget that you found me
But you came like a whisper and saved me with a sparkWhen the light is gone and life is just a dare we take
Still, the fight goes on and on to get my heart awayAnd it's out of my hands, it was from the start
In light of what you've done for me, in light of what you've done for me
You lifted my head, you set me apart
In light of what you've done for me this is what you've done for meIt's out of my hands
It's out of my handsThere's nothing in the world that I can offer, nothing in the world
That I can stand upon, apart from you, apart from you
NOthing in my life, nothing in my life

You haven't given to meIt's out of my hands, it was from the start
In light of what you've done, in light of what you've done
You lifted my head, you set me apart
In light of what you 've done for me, in light of what you've done for me, ohIt's out of my hands, it was from the start
In light of what you've done for me, in light of what you've done for me
You lifted my head, you set me apart
In light of what you've done for me this is what you've done for meIt's out of my hands
(It's out of my hands, it's out of my hands)
It's out of my hands
(Everything that I have, Lord, everything that I am)It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands

Jars of Clay is a popular Christian alternative pop group formed while attending Greenville College in Greenville, Illinois, United States in 1992. The group's sound has varied over the years as the band has experimented with pop, folk, rock, trip-hop, gospel, and hymnsong. Its self-titled album featured layered acoustic guitars over programmed trip-hop beats. Flood was the band's biggest crossover hit, and hit #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 12 on the Modern Rock charts.

The following albums saw large shifts in style. Much Afraid saw them releasing gorgeous - sometimes brittle - music, which the Band intended to have a "timeless" sound, while If I Left The Zoo is a quirkier but musically brilliant album, featuring considerably more keys and experimentation. The Eleventh Hour is their first true "rock" album. They returned to acoustic guitars for the "Furthermore" project, which featured two EPs - a live disc and an acoustic disc. The band's 5th album, Who We Are Instead continued some of the band's earlier sonic experiments and showcased some new gospel, bluegrass, and hymnsong influences. The hymnsong approach was continued on an album of new arrangements of classic hymns - Redemption Songs.

Good Monsters was released on Sept. 05, 2006. The album was hailed by CCM Magazine as "Album of the Year" - a controversial move considering that this announcement was made in August. "Good Monsters" further showcases the diverse style of the venerable quartet and is considered by the band to be their first true "rock" record. It is a rock driven record with electric guitars having prevalence on more of the songs than any previous albums. The album also has other stylistic influences and even includes a choir of African school children, while lyrically, it hits the darker side of their self-shaped genre.

In 2007, Jars of Clay announced that they were leaving Essential Records and were creating their own record label, Gray Matters. Jars of Clay released Christmas Songs through Gray Matters in 2007, and the Closer EP was released in the Summer of 2008.

April 21, 2009 marked the release of The Long Fall Back To Earth, containing two tracks from the Closer EP and 12 additional tracks. Two Hands is the first single from that release.
