I see the need but I can’t open my arms
I’m too wrapped up in my own fears
I see the pain, I used to be that way too
But it’s been forgotten with the years
I hear You calling me to speak
I want to, but Lord I’m so weak
Move me, God, move in me
To see all the hurting
In the way that You do
Teach me, Lord, breathe in me
To be the hands and feet
And heart that You work through
So may my life flow with Your mercy
Spirit of God, move in me
I give all I am to You, so let me shine
Help me live the life that I claim
So draw me close and make my heart break with Yours
Let all I do lift up Your name
I hear You calling me to stand
In surrender I raise my hands
Move me, God, move in me
To see all the hurting
In the way that You do
Teach me, Lord, breathe in me
To be the hands and feet
And heart that You work through
So may my life flow with Your mercy
Spirit of God, move in me
Lord, You are the only One
Who can change my heart
That I’d reach out to the lost
Wherever they are
Cast my fears away
Reach past my doubts
I want to be used
My soul cries out
Move me, God, move in me
To see all the hurting
In the way that You do
Teach me, Lord, breathe in me
To be the hands and feet
And heart that You work through
So may my life flow with Your mercy
Spirit of God, move in me
