Lift Up Your Hands
Lift up your hands
Lift up your hands
Cry out to me
I will give you everlasting joy!
Wipe up those tears that readily fall!
Take lessons from the birds
Who joyfully call,
Singing their hearts out
Before the raging storm
Take lessons from the swallows that ride out the wind
The mighty eagle that glides on updrafts,
Surveying the land.
God clothes them, He feeds them
He gives them shelter from the storm!
So will He in your life.
Just listen for that still small voice.
He will talk to you and guide you.
Let go of the past and live for each day.
Wear His cloak of Armour
And lift up your hands
Close your eyes
And sing for joy!
I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us
from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
R o m a n s 8 : 3 8 - 3 9
