Jill Paquette Lift My Eyes Lyrics

Lift My Eyes Lyrics

Throwing off the fetters and working on a smile

Because it's time that I felt better oh than I have in a while

I want to say I need You--don't leave until I try

'Cause I've been holding onto shadows, holding them inside



And they come from what I've learned in life 

And they put my faith to the test

Testing my drive, pulling me under 

But hope won't be kept down forever



Lift my eyes

I've seen light lost to darkness 

But You made a promise

So lift my eyes

Trusting You will be faithful 

I'll do all that I'm able

Believing there's freedom in a life lived forgiven



No room here for the both of you but who should I ask to go?

One holding out my pardon, one holding all I've ever known

Love tells me without speaking resonating in my soul

With a light that's ever reaching, ever letting me go



And some things make me want to hide from life

And some things put my faith to the test

Testing my drive and it's not over

Oh no it's not nearly finished yet



Lift my eyes

I've seen light lost to darkness 

But You made a promise

So lift my eyes

Trusting You will be faithful 

I'll do all that I'm able

Believing there's freedom in a life lived forgiven
