My Hands

Why can't I lift my hands?
I just don't understand.
I keep them by my side
where it doesn't feel right.
How would others take it?
Might think I'm faking it.
If I lift my hands.

Just me with no one there,
Hands raise, I just don't care.
With my eyes closed I feel
God's presence ever so real.
Alone, praising his name.
No, I am not ashamed
when I lift my hands.

Always keep your head raised.
Let no man hinder your praise.
Send praises to the throne
just like you were alone.
And when someone asks why?
Lift your hand to the sky
(and say) I can't help but lift my hands.
