Jesus Was There To Lift Me Up
Jesus Was There to Lift Me Up!
There were many things that want to pull me down.
All I had to do was stop… And look around!
There are many distractions and things to amuse me.
There are many temptations that try to “fool me.”
I tried it on my own, but wasn’t very successful.
I know that there were times that I felt stressful!
The satisfaction I had wanted, I hadn’t achieved.
There were many things, that I wanted to believe.
Everything I believed in, had left me disappointed.
I felt like my whole body, had been “disjointed.”
Just about the time, I felt like I was at life’s “dead end.”
I was told about someone, who’s always my friend.
I was told about Jesus, and his redeeming grace.
He could pick me up! And put a smile on my face!
I cried out to him, in a cry of desperation...
He brought to me a new life and salvation!
He restored many good things, I lost along the way.
He brought joy and hope! And a brand new day!
I’m so thankful for the choice that was given.
I’ve been set free! Redeemed and forgiven!
I praise you my Lord! For helping me along!
Though I am weak… You remain strong!
Thank you my Lord! My savior and king!
In you, I now have love, joy, and everything!
You have brought to my life, pure delight!
And are always with me... Each day and night!
