I Lift My Eyes to the Hills

Lyrics

There was a time when I was sure that you would never leave me There was a time when I was confident that you would always come And you would wrap me in your arms and give me consolation There was a time when just a word from you would cause my fears to run But now there's only silence Chorus: I lift my eyes to the hills From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord Maker of heaven and earth There was a time when things unfolded just the way that I had planned There was a time when I was sure that I could make it on my own A thousand could fall on my left hand and ten thousand on my right But it never came near me; I was reaping all the good seeds I had sown But now there's only sorrow CHORUS There was a time when growing older never crept into my mind There was a time when I grew proud that I was beautiful and strong I never bothered to consider that my life was not my own And everything I've worked so hard to build would not my life prolong Now my time is over CHORUS
