Lyrics

LIFT ME UP

Dear God may I be an instrument of your love
May I rise up to meet the higher ground where you live
Dear God may I be an answer to a prayer
May I hear the whispered cry, when someone’s heart lays bare

Dear God, I’m yours. I am yours

Lift me up that I may be
The one who reaches the one in need

Dear God may I be a paintbrush in your hand
May I trace with lines of grace the colors of your land
May I sing songs of hope that quiet down the noise
May I write wings of light, that travel with your voice

Dear God, I’m yours. I am yours

Lift me up that I may be
The one who reaches the one in need

Use me well. Use me well.
Use me well. Use me well.

Lift me up that I may be
The one who reaches the one in need
Lift us up that we may be
The ones who reach the ones in need
