Higher Ground - David Meece

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

I feel the night closing in
I feel the tide rising 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
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 to tired to row any more
Won't You give me the strength to get through the wind
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
Lord, lift me up to higher ground

(Repeat Refrain)
