God be lifting up my head

there is more to be found

than this trodden ground

I stand upon

God be lifting up my eyes

for hope might arise,

like the tenderest surprise,

even after defeat

God be lifting up my heart

not just to pump blood,

but swelled up by love

make it wide open

God be lifting up my feet

For the steps I now take

is the journey I make

towards you

God be lifting up my hands

for in their embrace

each small act of grace

becomes yours
