i will lift my eyes...

oh God, MY God,
i cry out - Your Beloved needs You now.

oh God, be near.
calm my fear and take my doubt.

Your kindness is what pulls me up.
Your love is all that draws me in.

oh God, MY God,
let mercy sing her melody over me.
God, right here, all i bring is all of me.

i will lift my eyes to the Maker of the mountains i can't climb.
i will lift my eyes to the Calmer of the oceans raging wild.
i will lift my eyes to the Healer of the hurt i hold inside.
i will lift my eyes to YOU

'cause You ARE and You WERE and You WILL BE forever the Lover i need to save me.
'cause You fashioned the earth and You hold it together, God.
so hold me now.

oh God, MY God,
i cry out - Your Beloved needs You now.

What beautiful words! Did you write them? (if you didn't, and I should know that, forgive me. I am a dork when it comes to any song written since I became a parent)
