Sharing my music

So my dad asked me to sing a particular original song for the Teen Challenge graduation this past weekend. I was apprehensive because my songs are so very personal to me, between me and God. But I know that God gave me those songs to share with others. I struggled this past week because I felt so inadequate. I didn't feel good enough.. But I knew that God would use me in spite of me, because it's not about me but about Him. That was my prayer.. I knew the family's of these graduates would be there, many of which didn't know God. And I wanted to be an instrument to draw them closer to Him, to tug on their hearts that He has been waiting for them and loves them. I've posted these lyrics before but here they are again: the song is called Lift Up Your Eyes.

Verse 1

I watch you

Having to fight

When each day brings attacks at every side

I watch you

Trying not to cry

When night time loneliness won’t subside

Pre Chorus

Do you see Me? Fighting at your side?

Do you feel Me? Holding you at night?

Chorus

Lift up your eyes

Cause there’s morning after night

Lift up your eyes

To the sunrise

Verse2

I watch you

Trying to hide

When others ask if you’re alright

I watch you

Believing the lie

That your past defines who you are inside

Pre Chorus:

Do you see me? I’ll show you how to be free

Do you feel me? From you I’ll never leave

Chorus

Lift up your eyes

Cause there’s morning after night

Lift up your eyes

Wait for the sunrise

Lift up your eyes

I've been fighting at your side

Lift up your eyes and let them shine

Bridge

Lift up your eyes to the hill

Where I died

With grace flowing from my side

Where I won the fight

So I could call you mine

So you could fly

Thank you Daddy for using me for your Kingdom and helping me share your amazing love with others... <3
