There's a Liftin' of the Hands
Israel & New Breed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
There's a liftin' of the hearts
There's a lifting of the eyes beyond the hills where our help comes from
We will lift up our hands
We will lift up our hearts
We will lift up our eyes beyond the hills where our help comes from
Our help comes from you, we lift up our hearts
Our help comes from you, we lift up our eyes where our help comes from
There's a liftin', we lift up our hands
There's a liftin', we lift up our hearts
There's a liftin', we lift up our eyes where our help comes from
We realize where I help comes from
Israel & New Breed's song "There's a Liftin' of the Hands" is a song of worship and praise. The lyrics talk about the lifting of hands, hearts and eyes in recognition of God's power and the help that comes from Him. The phrase "beyond the hills where our help comes from" refers to Psalm 121, where the Psalmist declares his trust in God and his confidence in God's protection and guidance. The act of lifting one's hands, heart and eyes in worship is a physical expression of trust, surrender, and gratitude to God.
The repetition of "we will lift up our hands, we will lift up our hearts, we will lift up our eyes" emphasizes the importance of an all encompassing worship experience, where every part of one's being is engaged. The repetition also provides an opportunity for the listeners to join in and participate in the act of worship. The song is a call to worship, an invitation to lift up everything to God.
In the chorus, the lyrics explicitly state that our help comes from God. It is a reminder that our source of help and strength is not found in ourselves or others, but in Him. The song acknowledges the reality of our struggles and challenges, but also affirms our faith in God's power and love. It is a declaration of trust and hope.

The Lord just dropped this song into my heart this morning. Our help really comes from God. We will receive from Him when our heart is focused and dependent completely on God.

God I Thank You. During hurricane Katrina this was one of the main song that ministered to me. I can remember driving to Wharton Tx to reconnect with my family after the storm and this song was playing. Let's just say, I had to pull over. Because in that moment when you truly realize where your help comes from (GLOOOORRYYYY).. All I could do was pull over. God I Thank You🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌🙌🙌
