Higher Ground

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) --- Higher Ground - David Meece
