Lift Me Up

With every heartbeat, I long for release
Lifting my burdens, praying for peace
Hands are weathered, lifted high
Walking through the fields beneath the open sky
Crosses by the roadside, names in the clay
Every song I sing is leading me to pray


With every heartbeat, Lord, I seek release
Lifting up my burdens, searching for Your peace

(Lead:)
Beneath the turning wheel, I bow and kneel
(Choir:)
Raise your voice, let the Spirit heal
(Lead:)
If I stumble onward and the way's concealed
(Choir:)
Jesus, You restore and my soul is healed
(All:)
Beneath the turning wheel—oh, let the Spirit heal!

Echoes in the valley, voices in the choir
Songs of salvation set my heart on fire
Pages may be missing from the book I own
But the promise of grace leads me closer to the throne

When darkness gathers and faith feels thin
I hear the choir singing—Your love breaks in

(Lead:)
Beneath the turning wheel, I bow and kneel
(Choir:)
Raise your voice, let the Spirit heal
(Lead:)
If I stumble onward and the way's concealed
(Choir:)
Jesus, You restore and my soul is healed
(All:)
Beneath the turning wheel—oh, let the Spirit heal!

(Call:) When the thunder is rolling, when I stand unsure
(Response:) I'll sing hallelujah, Your promise is pure
(Call:) When the seasons are turning and the years rush by
(Response:) I cling to Your mercy that will never die
(Call:) When the night feels endless, when my strength is gone
(Response:) Lift me up, Savior, and carry me on
(All:)
Lift me up, lift me up—carry me on!

Beneath the turning wheel, I bow and kneel
Raise your voice, let the Spirit heal
If I stumble onward and the way's concealed
Jesus, You restore and my soul is healed
Beneath the turning wheel—oh, let the Spirit heal!
