Here’s the story behind the song, from Matt Papa himself:

Open Hands

Verse:
To give unselfishly
to serve the least of these
Jesus I’m learning how to live with open hands
All these treasures that I own
will never satisfy my soul
Jesus I lay them at your throne with open hands

Chorus:
I lift my hands open wide
let the whole world see
how you love, how you died, how you set me free
free at last, I surrender all I am with open hands, with open hands
To finally let go of my plans
these earthly kingdoms built of sand
Jesus at your cross I stand with open hands

Bridge:
You took the nails, You bore the crown
You hung your head, Your love poured out
You took my place, You paid the price
so Jesus now I will give my life
