You lift me up with Your love
You lift me up with Your love
You lift me up with Your love
You lift me up

Waiting for the sunrise
Waiting for the day
Waiting for a sign that I’m
Where You want me to be

You know my heart is heavy
And the hurt is deep
But when I feel like giving up
You’re reminding me

That we all fall down sometimes
When I hit the ground

You lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I’m letting go

You lift me up when I can’t see
Your heart’s all that I need
Your love carries me so I’m letting go

I know I’m not perfect
I know I make mistakes
I know that I have let You down
But You love me the same

And when I’m surrounded
And when I lose my way
And when I’m crying out and fallen down

I can see the dawn is breaking
I am feeling overtaken
With Your love, with Your love
I don’t know what I can offer
In this moment I surrender
To Your love, to Your love

The Afters

How many times do you question if you are where God wants you to be?  The hurt and heartache are too much.   And you think that if this was His will, it would be so much easier.  That’s so not the truth!  Nowhere in God’s letters to us in His Word does He say that we are to be happy.  Rather we are to have joy and the peace that passes all understanding.  And that the storms are never too strong that He can’t still quiet them.

We are so blessed to have a Father Who is there to pick us up when we are tired and Who lifts us above the circumstance so that we can see the way.  The path may seem dark but His light shines so bright in those times and He meets you right where you are.  You don’t have to be good enough or smart enough, you just have to be willing to follow Him through it all.

And when God’s loving arms wrap around you tightly, it is time for you to let go and let Him take over.  He is capable and so willing to take your burdens.

It is the Lord who goes before you.
He will be with you;
He will not fail you or forsake you.
Do not fear or be dismayed.
Deuteronomy 31:8

I have set the LORD continually before me;
Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Psalm 16:8

Peace I leave with you;
My peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:2

 Why not let this song be your prayer today?

Let us pray:  Dear God, You are so amazing!  You love us so much and You truly care about each problem we have, big or small, and You want to lift it from us.  Lord, help us to be able to let go of the things that are keeping us from moving forward and let Your capable hands take over.  And, today, give those who really need to feel Your Presence an extra special moment that can only come from You.  In Jesus’ name, amen.
