Robed In Majesty
Hands Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In this broken place, where everything can be explained

As we watch the earth move, but we've never seen your face

In this broken place, will we recognize your voice

As we watch the earth move

The way the sun shines, the way our hearts beat

And how the stars fill out the sky, for all of us to see

All your beauty shows, in all of our lives

In every living thing, within the patterns of my skin

In every miracle, you can be found

And in this broken place, I will choose to believe in Christ

We sing praises to the King, because He's listening
