Lifted
from Defeat
I'm
so weary, all alone, afraid
I am bereft of choices I've made.
I feel a weakness in my soul
I must begin to climb the knoll.
I
cry out, my weakness keen
Heaven knows the trials I've seen
Life don't care, you cannot trust
situations in which you're thrust.
Lord
I plead, please hear my cries
Seek me out with Heavenly eyes,
Hold my heart within your hands
As I break these sinful bands.
Lord
please enter in my heart
I can't stand another day apart
From your holy, glorious face
Help me Lord to leave this place.
As
I give you all my cares
I'm aware I float like air
You have lightened my heavy load
And offered me your heavenly abode.
I
praise you Lord, you lift me up
I am yours, you've filled my cup.
Triumphantly I shout to all I meet
My Lord has lifted me from defeat!!!
