i'm up

i am holding to the joy of my salvation

i am glad to have a life that always grows

and if the word of god is any indication

i am doing even better than i know

i am doing even better than i know

there's a joy that even people of the world find

in every good and perfect gift the father sends

so i thank the lord that i was born the first time

but i thank him more that i was born again

oh

i thank him more that i was born again

i am up

like the sun is up

i can feel my life on a rise

i am up

like the stars at night

i get up on bein' alive

i am up

like the lord is up

and my life is filled with his life

i was freed and i am saved

i am up

i am up

there are times life is so fine i can't contain it

everywhere i look i see what god had done

and i don't have to work and worry to sustain it

when i walk with god his joy will always come

when i walk with god his joy will always come
