We Lift Up Our God

We lift up our eyes to the One whose throne is in heaven, the eyes of servants looking to the face of their Master. Eyes searching for our Creator Who uncovers his mercy and might. We lift up our ears to the One whose home is within us, the ears of students listening for a call from their Teacher. Ears straining to hear the voice of the Spirit Who promises us help and hope. We lift up our souls to the One Who forgives and heals, the souls of sinners begging for a Physician. Souls shifting from doubt to trust in Jesus Who reveals light and life. We lift up our hands to the One whose hands were pierced, the hands of surrender raising to honor the Victor. Hands stretching up to The Lord in commitment to Christ Who gives us peace and purpose. We lift up our voices to the One Who alone is worthy, the voice of the saved praising their Savior. Voices shouting, “Thank You!” to the Almighty One Who welcomes us with grace and glory.
