Dust In Your Hands
Emissary
GENRE
[Verse 1]
A sculpture of clay with strange wind inside these lungs
Awakening breath stirred while the stars were still young
My soul's first spark kindled in the warmth of Your gaze
All eternity now sets within this carbon cage
[Verse 2]
You set me in a garden to be taught and to be loved
All treasures of Your wisdom to reveal one by one
Not bound within its confines, You have mapped the reach of time
So You know always when is best to gently stretch my human mind
[Chorus]
From dust in Your hands came life and all I am
So I will trust in Your plans and not my own
'Cause I've seen time after time Your way is higher than mine
I choose faith over my need to understand
I'll be the dust in Your hands
[Verse 3]
I won't try to bend Your arm for some foreknowledge I can use
What worth has my trust if I have nothing to lose?
For Your rod and staff they guide me, Your hand won't let me fall
I need not know the journey, I just need to know Your call
[Chorus]
From dust in Your hands came life and all I am
So I will trust in Your plans and not my own
'Cause I've seen time after time Your way is higher than mine
I choose faith over my need to understand
I'll be the dust in Your hands
[Bridge]
If time is but a canvas made
And our lives the paint to fill the space
I want to give Your brush such colours to delight
And when we're standing on eternal shores
Looking back at all that my life formed
I want to see a heart that trusted through the night
Eyes that fixed upon Your face
A tongue ascribing power and grace
I want to see a mind held captive to Your wonder, woah
All things weathered by Your side
Joy and pain no less divine
A soul that trusted all unto its Maker
[Chorus]
From dust in Your hands came life and all I am
So I will trust in Your plans and not my own
'Cause I've seen time after time Your way is higher than mine
I choose faith over my need to understand
I'll be the dust in Your hands
[Outro]
I'll be the dust in Your hands
A sculpture of clay with strange wind inside these lungs
Awakening breath stirred while the stars were still young
My soul's first spark kindled in the warmth of Your gaze
All eternity now sets within this carbon cage
[Verse 2]
You set me in a garden to be taught and to be loved
All treasures of Your wisdom to reveal one by one
Not bound within its confines, You have mapped the reach of time
So You know always when is best to gently stretch my human mind
[Chorus]
From dust in Your hands came life and all I am
So I will trust in Your plans and not my own
'Cause I've seen time after time Your way is higher than mine
I choose faith over my need to understand
I'll be the dust in Your hands
[Verse 3]
I won't try to bend Your arm for some foreknowledge I can use
What worth has my trust if I have nothing to lose?
For Your rod and staff they guide me, Your hand won't let me fall
I need not know the journey, I just need to know Your call
[Chorus]
From dust in Your hands came life and all I am
So I will trust in Your plans and not my own
'Cause I've seen time after time Your way is higher than mine
I choose faith over my need to understand
I'll be the dust in Your hands

I choose faith over my need to understand
I'll be the dust in Your hands

I'll be the dust in Your hands
