Your head hanging low
With guilt and shame
Lift your gaze to see
My love to proclaim
Looking at your feet
A rocky road ahead
Lift your gaze to see
A greater view instead
Shoulders are hunched
A heavy cross to bare
Lift your gaze to see
Your burdens I’ll share
Your body exhausted
Seems trials won’t cease
Lift your gaze to see
Let your soul be at peace
For such is our faith
To change our behavior
Lift your gaze to see
The love of our Savior
To dawning’s glow
Our gaze to lift
And to currents above
To watch the clouds drift
To morning light
This day of beginning
And to the light
The whole earth is spinning
To the horizon
Of what is to be
And to the colors
A sky of beauty
To our great God
To see He’s in control
The gifts of the Spirit
Offered to our soul
When the sky is dark and gray
We’ll lift our face to You and say
Oh Lord we’ll let You lead the way
And know Your light will shine this day
When our cross is tough to bear
We’ll turn to You and lift our prayers
We’ll look up and find You here
And trust your precious grace appears
When my sins consuming me
I’m the one who is guilty
You look upon me lovingly
And lift me up with Your mercy
When our last day comes to be
And death consumes our body
We’ll lift our soul expectantly
In hope of You eternally
Gods ordains this morning
With dawning light to raise
Responding to this calling
We lift up our gaze
Here the realization
That everything’s a gift
Reflecting of your grace
With our will to lift
Binding with the Spirit
We lift up our prayer
Rising through the chill
We see our breath appear
To what our God’s prepared
In this sacred day
We lift up our body
Sent within His way
