I Lift Up My Eyes To You

 

I lift up my eyes to You, O Lord,

Yes, I lift them up high unto You,

For You alone are true and holy,

You are perfect in all that You do.

 

There’s no other to whom I can look,

None in heaven or earth whom I know,

Has power to help me in this hour,

No one else Lord to whom I can go.

 

From every side I’m being attacked,

Lord, look down on my poor wretched state,

In deep distress, to You I call out,

With whom else can the needy relate?

 

You are my help, my hope, my sure way,

Lord, for sinners You suffered and died,

So I come, a sinner in deep need,

I relinquish my self-righteous pride.

 

Have mercy upon me, bring relief,

Grant me strength in all things to endure,

Teach me Your lessons, easy or hard,

Grant grace Lord, keep me in You secure.

 

I give thanks, as I lift up my eyes,

As hope and faith in me You instill,

Thank You for being my help and stay,

Lord, teach me always to do Your will.

Amen!
