Flyleaf – Swept Away Lyrics 16 years ago
I believe this song is about a "fake" Christian.

The lyrics say:
Your eyes are black and empty
Your deeds are just for showing
How big and bright your fake smile glows

Lacey is saying how the person is only there to please the people around them by being someone that they are not. They are faking their Christianity by pretending to be Christian when in church and not being Christian outside of the church.

Time for surrender
Spread out your open hands
And He will raise you up
Confessing all that's broken
And watch the healing come
Spread out your open hands
Admit you've held them shut
Be swept away by this

This chorus, I believe, is telling the person to surrender your sins to God and he will forgive you and heal you.

That is my interpretation. And I may be wrong, but that is what the song seems to mean to me.
