Lyrics
[Verse] Dust turned slow beneath the rafters high Oil flickered softly near the door I heard my own pulse choking in my throat As heaven pressed against the fragile floor No trumpet sounded through the waking hills No army marched beneath a blood-red sky Just one voice threading through my trembling bones As if my name existed long before mine [Chorus] If I open up my hands tonight Will the stars descend beneath my skin? Will the weight of holy suffering Teach my shaking heart to let Him in? [Post-Chorus] Let it be done through me Though it undoes everything [Verse] The cedar beams bent low beneath the hush Clay water trembled gently at my side I saw the shadow of a coming hill Hidden somewhere deep within His eyes The world outside remained so unaware The lambs still slept beneath the paling dawn While every living thing inside my chest Began preparing for what was to come [Bridge] No crown of gold No seat of power Only open hands Only surrender Only a body willing to break [Breakdown] I saw the veil already splitting I heard the earth begin to mourn Still I offered up my breathing For the child not yet born [Chorus] If I open up my hands tonight Will eternity consume my fear? Will devotion bloom from suffering When the Holy One draws near? [Post-Chorus] Let it be done through me Though it undoes everything Let it be done through me Though it undoes everything
