Key of C · 128 BPM · 4/4 · Praise, Creation, Providence · Psalm 145:16
VERSE 1
You heal the broken-hearted
And You bind up every wound.
You number all the starry hosts
And You give each song its tune.
You comfort the afflicted,
For these things we bless Your name.
Our praise is often feeble, Lord,
But You love us just the same.
CHORUS
O, You open up Your hand
And You satisfy our hearts.
You supply the needs of every living thing.
Yes, You open up Your hand
And You satisfy our hearts.
And before You now our hearts
We humbly bring.
VERSE 2
You bless the little children,
They will never be alone.
You call them gently to Your side
And describe to them their home.
We are Your little children
And we hold on to Your hand.
Sometimes we try to pull away,
But you help us understand.
CHORUS
O, You open up Your hand
And You satisfy our hearts.
You supply the needs of every living thing.
Yes, You open up Your hand
And You satisfy our hearts.
And before You now our hearts
We humbly bring.
Bridge
Lord, the world is filled
With Your glory and Your praise
All creation looks to You for life.
Lord, we stand in awe
You are righteous in all Your ways.
You supply our every need
As we look to You all our days.
Chorus and Ending)
O, You open up Your hand
And You satisfy our hearts.
You supply the needs of every living thing.
Yes, You open up Your hand
And You satisfy our hearts.
And before You now our hearts
We humbly bring.
And before You now our hearts
We humbly bring.
And before You now our hearts
We humbly bring.
