I will lift my eyes

This is Kylie and my song. Bebo Norman is still one of my favorite Christian artists. From a very early age - when I first got the cd with this song, I would listen to it with her sitting on the kitchen counter. She would lift her hands with me and we would sing. At least she kinda learned the chorus. Tonight I sang it to her before she went to bed - like I have a thousand times. Only tonight was a little different - she sang every word with me. In a soft whisper. Yep, I cried.

"Oh God, my God, I cry out
your beloved needs you now.
God be near, calm my fear
and take my doubt.
Your kindness is, what holds me up
your love is all that draws me near.

I will life my eyes - to the Maker
of the mountains I can't climb.
And I will lift my eyes - to the Calmer
of the oceans raging wild.
And I will lift my eyes - to the Healer
of the hurt I hold inside.
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to you."
