Higher Ground

Lyrics

[Chorus] Lift me up to higher ground Lift me up, I'm sinking down And I know the water's cold And I might drown Oh, Lord, lift me up to higher ground [Verse 1] I feel the night closin' in I feel the tide risin' 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 [Chorus] Lift me up to higher ground Lift me up, I'm sinking down And I know the water's cold And I might drown Oh, Lord, lift me up to higher ground [Verse 2] 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 too tired to row anymore Won't You give me the strength to get through the rain? Won't You show me the way to get home again? [Chorus] Lift me up to higher ground Lift me up, I'm sinking down And I know the water's cold And I might drown Oh, Lord, lift me up to higher ground [Chorus] Lift me up to higher ground Before my soul starts sinking down And I know the water's cold And I might drown Lord, lift me up to higher ground [Chorus] Lift me up to higher ground Lift me up, I'm sinking down And I know the water's cold And I might drown Oh, Lord, lift me up to higher ground [Chorus] Lift me up to higher ground Lift me up, I'm sinking down And I know the water's cold And I might drown Oh, Lord, lift me up to higher ground [Chorus] Lift me up to higher ground Lift me up, I'm sinking down And I know the water's cold And I might drown Oh, Lord, lift me up to higher ground
