The song will be found on her fifth album of the same name releasing in Spring 2017. The worship leader and author penned the latest worship-focused song with her notable reflection, vulnerability and personal honesty.

The more I grow as a worship leader, the more I am learning that worship isn’t just the words I sing, but the very posture of my heart,” shares Story. “True worship is more than adoration; it’s coming before a faithful, trustworthy Father with open hands. It’s saying, ‘God, I want to surrender my life to You. I want You to take it all. Whatever comes, let me not respond with clenched fists as if I know best. With open hands, my life is Yours. The joy. The sorrow. The most broken things. I surrender to You. This is my act of worship.‘”

Laura Story is one of my favorite people in all of Christian music – so it is such an honor to be able to sing on ‘Open Hands’ with her,” shares Powell. “An amazing song with an amazing message!
