Lift My Eyes Lyrics

Throwing off the fetters
And working on a smile
Because it's time that I felt better
More than I have in a while
I want to say I need You
Don't leave until I try
Cause I've been holding onto shadows
Holding them inside

And they come from what I've learned in life
And they put my faith to the test
Testing my drive, pulling me under
But hope won't be kept down forever

Lift my eyes
I've seen light lost to darkness
But You made a promise
So lift my eyes
Trusting You will be faithful
I'll do all that I'm able
Believing there's freedom
In a life lived forgiven
No room here for the both of you
But who should I ask to go?
One holding out my pardon
One holding all I've ever known

Love tells me without speaking
Resonating in my soul
With a, with a light that's ever reaching
Ever letting me go

And some things make me want to hide from life
And some things put my faith to the test
Testing my drive, and it's not over
Oh no, it's not nearly finished yet
Lift my eyes
I've seen light lost to darkness
But You made a promise
So lift my eyes
Trusting You will be faithful
I'll do all that I'm able
So lift my eyes
C'mon and lift my eyes
Lift my eyes
Trusting You will be faithful
I'll do all that I'm able
Believing there's freedom
In a life lived forgiven
