Lyrics & Music by Trulah
Reaching, reaching out
In times of rain, in times of drought
Want You for a lifetime, not just for today
I need Your heart, Lord Show me the way
Show me Your heart, show me Your heart
When I was younger I reached for Your hand
I longed for guidance, but on my demand
I held You tight in all of my lows
But in the highs I let You go
Show me Your heart, show me Your heart
Show me Your heart, show me Your heart
Cause I need You more, today and forever
It's You I adore, my mind’s made up I'm sure
You're my Blessing and my Gift
You're everything You're all of it, Lord
My greatest joy in life is this
To know the reason I exist
All for, all for You
It's all for You All for You
Show me Your heart, show me Your heart
Show me, show me Your heart
Show me Your heart
Behind the Song
Heart Over Hand is based on personal growth in the grace and knowledge of Christ. In coming to Christ, one must recognize the need for saving, that we are broken in need of a Savior. When we turn to Him in that realization, our hand is put into His and we obtain, through the person of Christ, newness of life with Him.
I believe the rest of our life exist to grow from there in relationship with Christ; seeking and knowing His heart.
I saw for a while when I younger, I had a tendency to reach for the hand of Christ, but no further. I wanted His hand to get out of situations, make me feel good, or give me purpose for a moment. The cycle continued as I only whole-heartedly came to Him when the going got tough. Over time, that simply wasn’t enough and in reading more of Scripture, His beauty was revealed to me.
I no longer want Him for a quick fix but for a lifetime. Not for what I could get, but for who He is.
If we have His heart we already have his hand.
He is the blessing, He is the gift.
“Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.”
