YOU RAISED ME UP ABOVE THE STORMY SEAS

You raised me up above the stormy seas and set my feet on solid ground

I am no longer fearful, for my heart is settled, quiet and sound

When the storms of life are raging, I don't have to fear

Just to be in your presence, Lord, I know I’m safe and secure

You told me that you love me and I know that you do

You said that you will give me the desires of my heart, and Lord, I choose you

My heart burns within me just to hear the tenderness of your voice

This world has nothing to give me that can satisfy because you alone are my choice

Lord, let me be a light so that others can see the light that will lead them to you

I know that you love them, also, because you gave your life for them, too

I have opened the door of my heart and through the Holy Spirit you came right on in

You gave me a brand new start and have given me a reason to live again

I can hear the cries of many others who are crying out for you to meet their needs

Open the eyes of their understanding so they too can have faith to receive

Raise them up also above the stormy seas and let them know that you are there

For you are God alone and no storm can destroy them when they put their trust in your care

We are your people, so stir us up again, so that we can soar as eagles above the storm

And with wings of eagles, we will rise again above the stormy seas without harm

So, rise up and be encouraged for God has not forgotten about you

Tell Satan! In the Name of Jesus, move out of my way because I'm coming through
