I Will Lift Up My Eyes

This song--written for the Shalom G2 ensemble to sing on May 30, 2010, in UECM--reflects a spontaneous spirit of praise. The singer does not pause to ponder deep lyrics or climb dramatic musical leaps. Yet he sings with passion...that God alone is glorious and worthy of his praise. Find other songs by G2 here.


Verse 1:
I will lift up my eyes into Your glory,
I will lift up my voice to sing Your praise,
And as I lift up my eyes into Your radiance,
I can't help but say...

Chorus:
You...alone are glorious.
You...alone we praise.
You...alone we'll follow,
Follow You all of our days.


Verse 2:

I will lift up my eyes to see Your beauty,
I will life up my hands in joyous praise,
And as I lift up my life, a living offering,
I can't help but say...

Verse 3:
I will lift up my eyes with joy to Calvary,
I will lift up my heart in endless praise,
And as I lift up my hopes upon Your promises,
I can't help but say...
