Lift me up to higher ground   Lift me up, I'm sinking down   And I know the water's cold   And I might drown   Lord, lift me up to higher ground      I feel the night closing in   I feel the tide rising again   And serenity slippin' away from me, oh no   The sea of life, it batters the shore   The water's higher than ever before   Gotta find me a way to get out of here   Gotta find me a way to get past the fear      Lift me up to higher ground   Lift me up, I'm sinking down And I know    the water's cold   And I might drown   Lord, lift me up to higher ground      I've done my best, I still can't win   And there's no rest from the state I'm in   Insecurity's getting the best of me, oh no   I see the light on a distant shore   But I'm to tired to row any more   Won't You give me the strength to get through the wind   Won't You show me the way to get home again      Lift me up to higher ground   Lift me up, I'm sinking down   And I know the water's cold   And I might drown   Lord, lift me up to higher ground      (Repeat Refrain)
