Take Me Higher
The Bad Decisions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You took all the pieces
And made my life complete
In You
I soar on the heights
Of Your love
Dive the depths of Your grace
You take me higher
'Til I see beyond the storm
Surrounding me with Your love
I turn to find You near
You take me higher
You lift my head to open skies
Your fire burns within my soul
Abandoned to Your call
I take the hand of One
Who knows me
From the inside out
He guides me through
The streets of life
He take me through
Open doors
They open onto fields of white
He tells me to see
And perceive
And to hear their cry
You take me higher
'Til I see beyond the storm
Surrounding me with Your love
I turn to find You near
You take me higher
You lift my head to open skies
Your fire burns within my soul
Abandoned to Your call
