Throwing off the fetters and working on a smile  Because it's time that I felt better oh 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 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  Believing there's freedom in a life lived forgiven
