I LIFTED UP MY HEART TO GOD

I lifted up my heart to God,
And Jesus came within,
He saw my need, and heard my cry,
And cleansed me from all sin.

I lifted up my hands in prayer,
For guidance through the day,
I feel His strong, yet tender clasp,
As He leads along the way.

I lifted up my eyes to Him,
And saw the Heavenly Light,
I heard Him say "Just follow Me",
And you'll never fear the night.

I lifted up a child to Him,
With bright and shining face,
I heard Him whisper, "Let them come,
Each child of every race".

I lifted up my voice in praise,
For all He's done for me,
And yet I'll never know the half,
Until His face I'll see.
