Lyrics:

Lift me up to higher ground
Lift me up, I'm sinking down
And I know the water's cold
And I might drown
Oh, Lord, lift me up to higher ground

I feel the night closin' in
I feel the tide risin' again
And serenity slippin' away from me, oh no
The sea of life, it batters the shore
The water's higher than ever before
Gotta find me a way to get out of here
Gotta find me a way to get past the fear

Lift me up to higher ground
Lift me up, I'm sinking down
And I know the water's cold
And I might drown
Oh, Lord, lift me up to higher ground

I've done my best, I still can't win
And there's no rest from the state I'm in
Insecurity's getting the best of me, oh no
I see the light on a distant shore
But I'm too tired to row anymore
Won't You give me the strength to get through the rain?
Won't You show me the way to get home again?

Lift me up to higher ground
Lift me up, I'm sinking down
And I know the water's cold
And I might drown
Oh, Lord, lift me up to higher ground

Lift me up to higher ground
Before my soul starts sinking down
And I know the water's cold
And I might drown
Lord, lift me up to higher ground

Lift me up to higher ground
Lift me up, I'm sinking down
And I know the water's cold
And I might drown
Oh, Lord, lift me up to higher ground

Lift me up to higher ground
Lift me up, I'm sinking down
And I know the water's cold
And I might drown
Oh, Lord, lift me up to higher ground

Lift me up to higher ground
Lift me up, I'm sinking down
And I know the water's cold
And I might drown
Oh, Lord, lift me up to higher ground
