Cyndi Cegalis Poet Lyric

UPSIDE DOWN OR RIGHT SIDE UP

Upside down or right side up, 
     which way do you turn us to fill our cup?
Born in sin, with heads in the sand, 
     blind to the Son, how can we see Your hand.

Only God can turn our eyes to Him,
     the One He gave, causes us to be born again.
He took me and broke me from my chains,
     separated from the world, now there is everything to gain.

True joy can never be found in the soil,
     eyes always searching, and hearts always in toil.
Empty tanks, because of the many holes,
     mending must come from the only One who knows –
What we are missing, what we all need,
     Christ our Savior satisfies and sets free.

You pulled my head out from the sand,
     turned me upward by Your command –
Now I can see Your glorious Light,
     it is You, Lord, that brightens our day and night!
