Higher Ground - David Meece

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)
