[Verse 1] My jaw is tight, the house is still I'm counting what could break A hundred plans beside the bed And none can make me safe I've held so hard to being strong I barely know what's true And every time I ask for help I tell You what to do [Pre-Chorus] I'm tired of keeping up this fight With grace I won't receive [Chorus] Open these hands, loosen this grip Jesus, I'm worn from holding it Take all the plans I called my peace The weight I thought was mine to keep I don't have to earn Your love Or hide until I'm strong enough Your grace can meet me where I am Jesus, open these hands [Verse 2] I wore the names they handed me Till I forgot my own Played every part they praised me for Still never felt at home Tonight I bring the truth to You No costume and no claim I'd rather limp beside my Lord Than run behind a borrowed name [Pre-Chorus] I don't need someone else's life To bring my own to You [Chorus] Open these hands, loosen this grip Jesus, I'm worn from holding it Take all the plans I called my peace The weight I thought was mine to keep I don't have to earn Your love Or hide until I'm strong enough Your grace can meet me where I am Jesus, open these hands [Bridge - half-time, building] I can be honest, I can be small You are still Jesus through it all No borrowed story, no disguise No hiding from Your searching eyes The things beyond me, I release The things You've given, help me keep You are enough when I am weak Let mercy have the room to speak [Final Chorus] Open these hands, loosen this grip Jesus, I'm worn from holding it Take all the plans I called my peace The weight I thought was mine to keep I don't have to earn Your love Or hide until I'm strong enough Your grace can meet me where I am Jesus, open these hands [Outro] With nothing left to prove I leave this here with You
