Lyrics

Hand Up
(Lyrics :Amy Abernathy 2014, Music : Rick Pitts)


You say you don't give more than I can handle,
But you must think I'm really tough.
Lord I'm burning both ends of the candle,
And I feel like giving up.

I know one thing is for certain,
I'm down and very weak.
The wheels that I've been turning,
Makes me claim my defeat.

(Chorus)
I don't need a hand out,
Just my hand up.
Lord I raise my hands to the sky,
Would you let your hands meet mine?
I don't need a hand out,
Just a hand up.

I know on my own I can't take the load.
I can't be everything I need to be.
Weary tired, barefoot and broke.
I need your strength to carry me.

Hands of grace and full of mercy,
Reach down and take a hold.
Let your Strength cover me.
I lift my hands, Lord Take control.

(Chorus)
I don't need a hand out,
Just my hand up.
Lord I raise my hands to the sky,
Would you let your hands meet mine?
I don't need a hand out,
Just a hand up.

(Bridge)
If ever I needed you,
Then the time is now.
I put my hands up to the sky.
Lord Please let your hands meet mine.

(Chorus)
I don't need a hand out,
Just my hand up.
Lord I raise my hands to the sky,
Would you let your hands meet mine?
I don't need a hand out,
Just a hand up.


CC Amy Abernathy 2014

Tells a good story of a heart searching for the things of God. The hook works well. Much inspired by using the phrasing around "hands". This is creative.

VERY UPLIFTING SONG GREAT STORY VERY UNIQUE NICE JOB

very enjoyable song. good advice for the situation we are in with the two hurricanes. too many people are looking for a hand out from the government. we can always do more for ourselves.

Good vocals, both lead and harmony. I liked the lyrics and the hook, reaching out to the Lord for help and asking Him to reach out and take it. They clearly speak to the need we all have for help and forgiveness from our Heavenly Father. Nice mix with clearly defined and balanced instrumental accompaniment. Great job. Keep up the good work.

Love this song. Chorus is awesome I love the lyrics. The instrumentation and arrangement is great. Radio ready and worthy for sure! vocals and voice are wonderful.

I love this song! From the intro to the end, it's well-written, well-produced and lovely to listen to. The vocalist did a fantastic job; every word is crystal clear. Just a stellar performance and I hope you do really well with this song. I like its simplicity; I like songs that are easy to understand. You pulled that off without being trite, which is quite an accomplishment in this genre. Instrumentation is PERFECT! Complements song in every way.

Nice clear vocals and tight instrumental arrangement. Positive message.

Very heartfelt song. I don't usually listen to country, but I like the story telling. The acoustic guitar sounds great, and I love the drum track with the brushes. Very nice harmonies during the chorus.

Beautiful intro and instrumentation here. Really like the sweet intro, draws the ear immediately. The chorus is strong, nice vocals, backing vocals and piano. Pretty catchy, I found by the end of the song I could sing along which is a great thing to be able to say about a chorus on first listen. Great job with the production it's very polished and professional.

Nice Piano lines in this song. Just my opinion but I would have liked to hear more of a high hat beat in this song. the snare gets a little repetitive after a while. Nice change in the Bridge.
I like the melody in the hook.

I like the piano and the positive message. I like the arrangement as well.

Right on the money this one! Keen lyrics, vocals that blend great with the instrumentation. Nicely mixed and produced to boot. Good stuff here.
