love lifted me up

up from the grave

up from my shame

up from the sin that kept me bound to my yesterdays

up from the shadows

where i used to hide

up from the darkness of my sin and into the light

oh let me tell you now

love lifted me up

love lifted me up

love lifted me up

and i'm never coming back down

this is my story

the goodness of grace

and i am the living proof there's no one you cannot change

i'm no longer stranded

in the pit of despair

i'm thankful you loved me way too much to leave me there

oh let me hear ya now

when nobody else could help me

when nobody else could save me

there you were

and here you are

and jesus i'm so grateful

and i lift my hands up

and i'm lift my eyes up

and i lift my voice up

singing to the one who never left me
