Tommy Kodel - Lift Me Up

One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple. For in the day of trouble He’ll conceal me in His shelter; In the secret place of His tent He’ll hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.

In the clefts of the rock, that’s where I find your love
I’m drowning in your presence, that’s what I’m mindful of
I call upon your name, and connect with you in Spirit
I tune my heart to God, oh Lord, your voice let me hear it
For your voice is mighty, like the sound of many waters
A love beyond measure where there aren’t any borders
In the secret place, that’s where I see your face
The Lord is slow to anger, merciful, and full of grace
Your love is like the finest wine, I come and grab a taste
You’ll cast out none who come to you, I welcome your embrace
Your everlasting arms, yeah, they hold me tight
You get me through the coldest winter and the darkest night
Forever Jesus Christ is my strength and my light
Then whom shall I fear, He’s the defense of my life
And though my adversaries come to devour my flesh
They all stumble and fall, while in your presence I rest

I love You, O LORD, my strength
The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge

I was sinking, I was falling, but you picked me up
My foes all around tryna sift me up
Jesus, you my rock when everything gets tough
Cause in the day of trouble you will lift me up

Drinking living water, so I lift my cup
And of the Holy Spirit, I can’t get enough
Your love fills me up, so my soul is overflowing
Being led by you, I never know where I be going
But, you take my hand, and I walk by faith and
You said you’d never leave me and I’m never forsaken
The LORD’s by my side so I’ll never be shaken
You came to my rescue like the father in Taken
You ride upon the cherub and you fly upon the winds
And you take me in under the shadow of your wings
And it’s in that place, nothing can separate
Me from your loving grace, neither time nor space,
Neither death, nor life, nor depth, or height
Arrows flying by day, or of the terrors of night
Of pestilence or plague I’ll never be afraid
Cause all who trust in your name will never be dismayed

God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;

I was sinking, I was falling, but you picked me up
My foes all around tryna sift me up
Jesus, you my rock when everything gets tough
Cause in the day of trouble you will lift me up

Enter your courts with thanksgiving and praise
Longing to dwell in your house all of my days
Constantly amazed as I gaze on your beauty
The judge of all and I ain’t talkin’ bout Judy
You lift me up, set my feet upon the rock
Great Shepard of the flock, always keeping watch
My protector and provider, bought my soul up out the mire
I find my rest in you like Bilbo Baggins in the Shire
Joy of my desire, you’re an all consuming fire
And my lips will praise you like I’m singin’ in the choir
You’re my strength and my song, my enemies gone
You broke through my darkness like the light of the dawn
Cause at my cry you arose, you shattered my foes
You shielded me from evil and you took all my blows
Broke all my enemies bows, cause I’m the one that you chose
And now I’m clothed with your Spirit from the head to my toes

I would’ve despaired unless I’d believed that I’d see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage;

I was sinking, I was falling, but you picked me up
My foes all around tryna sift me up
Jesus, you my rock when everything gets tough
Cause in the day of trouble you will lift me up

In the day of trouble, you will lift me up
In the day of trouble, you will lift me up
In the day of trouble, you will lift me up
Cause in the day of trouble you will lift me up

I was sinking, I was falling, but you picked me up
My foes all around tryna sift me up
Jesus, you my rock when everything gets tough
Cause in the day of trouble you will lift me up
