Lifted High

Lyrics to the song by Jars of Clay. "If I Had Two Hands".

I’ve been living out of sanity 
I’ve been splitting hairs and blurring lines 
I am a house that is divided 
In my heart and in my mind 

I use one hand to pull closer 
The other to push you away 
If I had two hands doing the same thing 
Lifted high, lifted high 

I have a broken disposition 
I’m a liar who thirsts for the truth 
And while I ache for faith to hold me 
I need to feel the scars and see the proof 

And if we just keep digging we can reach the foundation 
Of our souls 
And if we just keep cutting all the chains from our hearts 
We’ll lose control 

And it feels like giving in 
It feels like starting over 
It feels like waking up, and you know it’s coming 
It feels like a brand new day Open your eyes
