Lift Your Eyes

[Inspired by a Sermon by Pastor George E. Britt
of Allen Chapel AME Church in Asbury Park, NJ]

When your burdens feel too heavy,
When your fears are holding you down
Trust in the Spirit, it’s inside you.
Trust your life can be turned around.

Lift your eyes a little bit higher,
Raise your voice In a beautiful song.
Lift your eyes, it’ll lift your spirit
Lift your eyes to the skies.

When the storm clouds are gathering ‘round you
When the sun is hiding from you
Trust the Spirit, it will guide you.
You will know what you’ll have to do.

Lift your eyes a little bit higher,
Raise your voice In a beautiful song.
Lift your eyes, it’ll lift your spirit
Lift your eyes to the skies.

When you feel you’re at a crossroad:
You’ve lost your job, you’ve lost your home.
Around the corner is the future.
Life will change, but you’re not alone.

Lift your eyes a little bit higher,
Raise your voice In a beautiful song.
Lift your eyes, it’ll lift your spirit
Lift your eyes to the skies.
