Original song. Purchase includes digital download of lyrics and music and permission to use. (Listen to a audio clip in the Product Description below.) Lyrics: What do we hold in our hearts? The hopes of a hungering people, longing for you, and for bread, and to truly be free. What can we do, who are small? The power is not ours at all: God, you have hidden such grace here in our hands. What do we hold in our hands? Nothing we have is unworthy. An everyday gift you can use in miraculous ways. All that we hold in our hands you’ll use if we give it to you. Use what we hold in our hands for what you will do. What do we hold in our hands? In it you’ve hidden the wondrous, fishes and loaves you can use to feed thousands with love. All that we hold in our hands we give in the name of your Son: more than we ask or imagine, may your will be done. What do we hold in our hands? Grace is abundant, not lacking. Look now and see what we have and find power and life. All that we hold in our hands, all that we have or can do, all that we are by your grace we give now to you.
