Lyrics Struggle Jennings – You Lift Me Up
Text:
You lift me up like nobody can
You give me hope like nobody can
You fill my cup like nobody can
You lift me up like nobody can
Let us not forget His benefits
Who feeds the poor and heals the sick
Who lifts us up out of the pit
And crowns us with love and compassion
He satisfies our heart’s desires
With good things and gives us wings
So we can fly like an eagle
Way up high
You lift me up like nobody can
You give me hope like nobody can
You fill my cup like nobody can
You lift me up like nobody can
I was down in the darkness of shadow of sin
Thought pain was my lifeline and sorrow my friend
Thought I’d never be free from the burden within
But You came and You found me
You lift me up like nobody can
You give me hope like nobody can
You fill my cup like nobody can
You lift me up like nobody can
Old man in that prison cell
Told me how you got here don’t mean nothin’
It’s what you do with what you got
When you get hit it’s gon’ mean somethin’
Crime pays but I paid back
Way more than I ever made at it
Tried to shed light, I threw shade at it
Lit the path, I went the other way
Shinin’ bright on that summer day
Threat of thunderstorm and another case
Split my family up by them prison gates
Praise a while in that broken home
‘Cause them broken hearts sing a painful song
Hate on me ’cause I made it out
But I tell my truth, I never say it wrong
Life’s no game, I don’t play along
Found my light when all the day was gone
Hope my people never take it wrong
I push on to help ’em stay strong
Always see my glass half full, I need a fresh cup
Five years in the feds fed up, had my hands out
I need help but I feel helpless
Let us not forget His benefits
Who feeds the poor and heals the sick
Who lifts us up out of the pit
And crowns us with love and compassion
He satisfies our heart’s desires
With good things and gives us wings
So we can fly like an eagle
Way up high
You lift me up like nobody can
You give me hope like nobody can
You fill my cup like nobody can
You lift me up like nobody can
Nobody, nobody can
