Open Your Hands

Open your hands

Open your hands
Open your heart
Let peace fill your soul 
Let go and let God

Forget clinging to
What must fly away
Forget holding onto 
Dreams old and frayed

Our purpose is to thrive
To embrace our divinity 
To enjoy this life as it is 
Not as we wish it to be

Open your hands
Open your mind
Allow grace and peace
Allow mercy divine

God bless and keep you
God protect and guide your flight 
He and His Angels only want
What is best for your soul's light

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 NIV Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 1 Peter 1:8 NIV But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Luke 2:10 NIV : )
