I LIFT MY EYES
Written by Ariel Coffing, Christian Sagum, Drew Bodine and Joshua Paul
VERSE 1
Who was there from the beginning Set the land upon the sea
Shined a light into the darkness Created every living thing
Who can knit a soul together
Into a perfect masterpiece Breathe a breath inside my lungs And give my heart a steady beat
VERSE 2
Who commands the sun by morning Paints the colors in the sky
Brings the moon out in the evening To accompany the night
Who will walk me through the valley Like a shadow by my side
In times of trouble be my refuge And drive the darkness out with light
CHORUS
I lift my eyes up to the mountains My help comes from the Lord The maker of heaven and earth
VERSE 3
Who's the architect and artist
From whom the galaxies take shape Holds the universe together
And knows every star by name Who's superior in wonder
Yet identifies my pain
On the clouds will roll with thunder And bring forgiveness like the rain
VERSE 4
Who would leave His throne in heaven And step down to the earth
Choose an ordinary woman
And to the Son of God give birth
Who would take a sinner's cross Climb a hill and die for me Engrave my name into His hands Only Jesus Christ, my King
BRIDGE
Guardian of my life Defender through the night Maker of everything
Is watching over me
