Be Lifted Up
Lyrics
From Psalms 55, 56 & 57
CCLI Song No. 7215462
Key: C, D or G
Verse 1
I am weary from distress,
all day and night I groan and cry,
but I will call upon the Lord
for my God will surely hear my voice.
all my sadness and my sorrows
You keep track and count each one.
to You I give my cares and woes.
I know that You will care for me
Refrain
Be lifted up, O Lord our God
far above the highest heav'n!
Be lifted up, O Lord our God
May Your glory shine o'er all the earth
Verse 2
when the battle 'round me rages
God the Lord will ransom me.
He will send forth help from heaven,
disgracing all my enemies.
God sends His unfailing love.
His love is higher than the heavens.
He sends forth His faithfulness
that reaches up into the clouds.
Verse 3
I praise God for what He promised
Yes, I will praise Him for His Word.
I trust in God, why should I fear?
what can mere people do to me?
You have rescued me from death, God.
You have kept my footsteps sure.
Now in Your presence I can walk
and in Your light I live with You
Verse 4
when I am afraid or worried,
I will put my trust in You.
beneath the shadow of Your wings
I will hide until the danger's passed
My heart is secure in You.
O God, my heart cannot be moved.
To You I bring my thanks and praise
and sing of You to ev'ryone.

May Your glory be o'er all the earth.
