Lift Me Up
Fr Rob Galea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm tired of getting no where. Time and again, I've tried and I've failed,
to be all I want to be.
I'm laying it down, choosing Your crown, Becoming all You've called me to be.
So I'm cryin' out. Come and lift me up.
With My heart on Your prize, I will see the world through Your eyes
And in all I do, I wanna hold on to You .
I'm cryin' out. Come and lift me up.
And I'm done tryin' to make it on my own. Lift me up to Your throne.
Never felt this before, I'm thirsty for more. But I've found a fount that will never run dry.
All of this time, I was walking the line. Striving to be a better me.
You lifted me up. Carried me through, In this love I am free.
Now my soul rests in You alone.
Oh I'm cryin' out. Come and lift me up.
With My heart on Your prize, I will see the world through Your eyes
And in all I do, I wanna hold on to You.
I'm cryin' out. Come and lift me up. And I'm done tryin' to make it on my own.
Lift me up to Your throne. Come and carry me.
