When life is hard, and burdens rise,
In prayer You lift me up, O God.
When tears of sorrow fill my eyes,
In prayer You lift me up, O God.
For I behold Your lovely face
And sense Your presence in this place;
I feel Your arms in sweet embrace.
In prayer You lift me up, O God.
When troubles come and cares abound,
In prayer You lift me up, O God.
When evil rages all around,
In prayer You lift me up, O God.
For I behold Your lovely face
And sense Your presence in this place;
I feel Your arms in sweet embrace.
In prayer You lift me up, O God.
In prayer my tears and burdens flee;
In prayer Your mercy covers me.
In prayer no foe has victory;
In prayer You lift me up.
For I behold Your lovely face
And sense Your presence in this place;
I feel Your arms in sweet embrace.
In prayer You lift me up!
O how I love Your lovely face!
I love Your presence in this place!
I love Your arms in sweet embrace!
In prayer You lift me up, O God.
Lift me up, O God...
Lift me up, O God...
Lift me up!
