Hands Raised Above
He led us out toward Bethany
He lifted up His hands
And the blessing fell upon us
As the morning touched the land
While He blessed them,
while He blessed them
He was carried up from sight
Hands still raised above His children
Going up into the light
And we stood there looking upward
At the empty sky He'd torn
Till the two in shining linen
Asked us what we waited on
While He blessed them,
while He blessed them
He was carried up from sight
Hands still raised above His children
Going up into the
light
He will come the way He left us
He will come as He has gone
But the blessing has not lifted
Though the body has moved on
While He blessed them,
while He blessed them
He was carried up from sight
Hands still raised above His children
Going up into the light
