LORD LIFT ME UP

This song is one of the first ones I recorded.  I was leaving church one Sunday and loved the upbeat postlude played by our guitarist and his wife and thought, "it sure would be nice to have an upbeat song like that," so I put my thoughts into action and by the time I arrived home I had it finished and simply had to write it down and play through it a few times.  I recorded it two weeks later and shortly after added a bridge which I regret was not part of the trac but anyway here are the lyrics with the bridge,the song has been added to Reverbnation so feel free to listen on that site.  I loved how the musicians put the trac together and ended up using it as the title to the CD.  Here are the lyrics to LORD LIFT ME UP!!  Enjoy!

Lord Lift Me Up


CHORUS

Lord lift me up,up,up

Make me more like you

full of compassion,

faithful and true

Let the light of your Son come shining through

That others might see and believe

That they would not be decieved

Verse

Life is like a river flowing out to the sea

It twists and turns and moves so swiftly

It flows through the valley

It flows 'round the bend

With God as our Father

It never ends

CHORUS

Verse

You call us out of darkness to your marvelous light

Like a beacon shining in the night

You set us high upon a mountain top

shedding light to the valley below
CHORUS

Bridge

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace

Let your light so shine upon all men

Let your Holy Spirit dwell within

giving the power and the might

take the glory forever and ever and ever Amen!
CHORUS
