Open Hands is a beautiful praise and worship album all about the Savior. It is sung by Grammy award winning artist, speaker, songwriter, author, mom, and worship leader, Laura Story. The theme throughout is about putting our complete trust and faith in our Lord God so that when we are lost, broken, in pain, and depressed, He can comfort us, show us the way, and give us hope.
Laura Story has a lovely voice and the accompaniment is magnificent. This album is beautifully written and performed. The title track, Open Hands, which Laura sings with Third Day's Mac Powell, expresses perfectly how we need to offer up freely for Him to take our burdens from us so that we may have Open Hands, letting go of everything, surrendering to Him, and holding nothing back. I absolutely love the song Death Was Arrested. It is a wonderful Easter song about Christ's sacrifice for us all, taking the sins of humanity upon Him, releasing us from this bondage. Give You Faith brought me to tears. It struck a chord in me and was made me very emotional. This whole album is glorious! The words and music capture my heart and speak deeply to me. I can listen to this CD over and over again!

I hadn't listened to Laura Story before and love the title song Open Hands. I recognize Mac Powell's voice, which I love too. I found most of the songs on this album on YouTube and listened to them--such a sweet voice. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite song of hers is Blessings.
ReplyDeleteI was not familiar with Laura Story, but after listening to several of her songs online, I really liked "You Came Running" and "Open Hands."
ReplyDeleteI love her song Blessings! :)
