[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1 - Bubba MALE] I was holding every argument Like a deed to all my land Couldn't take the love before me With my fists around the past So I laid down being right, Lord Not the people in my care Let my pride become more quiet Let my love be present there [Chorus - Bubba and Darlene FEMALE harmony] Empty hands, open heart Let the healing find a start I can loosen what controls me Keep my promise, do my part I ain't giving up on loving I'm surrendering the guard Empty hands before Your mercy Open heart [Verse 2 - Darlene FEMALE] The old self wants a winner Wants somebody else to blame But a new day asks for patience And a gentler kind of strength When my children need their father Let me answer, let me stay Freedom isn't leaving love behind It's loving well today [Chorus - duet] Empty hands, open heart Let the healing find a start I can loosen what controls me Keep my promise, do my part I ain't giving up on loving I'm surrendering the guard Empty hands before Your mercy Open heart [Instrumental solo and break] [Bridge - intimate then build] What falls away is pride, Lord What comes alive is grace Make a little room for kindness In the life I face [Final chorus - full duet] Empty hands, open heart Let the healing find a start I can loosen what controls me Keep my promise, do my part I ain't giving up on loving I'm surrendering the guard Empty hands before Your mercy Open heart [Outro - resolve naturally] Empty Hands, Open Heart [Instrumental ending]
