Verse 1
The trees wither. Lights grow dimmer.
Bright flowers fade. This life’s a phase.
A storm’s coming. Waves are crashing.
Strong winds blow. Wake up my soul.
Pre-Chorus
Oh, there’s trouble.
Sometimes we may stumble.
Chorus
So Lift up your eyes. And hope will be restored.
[Oh, lift up your eyes]. Help comes from the Lord
(last time through chorus…. [You’ll be safe in the day and the night.]……right before bible verse reading)
Verse 2
We’re in a war. Felt it before.
The prisoner’s bound. So many drown.
This water’s deeper. The lion’s eager.
Approaching dawn. Help us hold on!
Pre-Chorus, then Chorus
Bridge
In this lost world, you gotta keep believing.
On this windy road, you gotta keep trusting.
On this crazy earth, you gotta keep going
Chorus (2x to finish)
Reading through final sequence (from Psalm 121)
• My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth
• He who watches over Israel with neither slumber nor sleep
• The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand
• The LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore
