I Lift Up My Eyes
Psalm 121: I lift up my eyes to the hills;
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of heaven and earth!
Each morn the first thing I do when I arise,
Is throw open the blinds to greet a glorious sunrise!
Then, I cite Psalm 121 lifting my eyes t'ward majestic Pikes Peak,
But, alas, America's Mountain hasn't been visible for nearly a week!
Smoke from western fires have eclipsed my view of that venerable mount.
His Handiwork has inspired me more times than I can recount!
Even though I cannot see it, I know Pikes Peak will e'er be there,
And I will continue to lift up my eyes each morn and recite my prayer!
