Sometimes it’s hard to find a reason To look up and force a smile When all your senses are telling you It may not be worthwhile But I’ll keep my head above water It’s not my time to drown There’s gotta be an easy way to Wipe off distant frowns
I know that you’ve promised In your time you’ll set me free Fill my mind until it’s time To exit my heart’s poverty I see your plans before me I know that you care So lift me up until it’s time To answer my every prayer
Some say the only way is up When you’re in so very deep You’ll be thrown a ladder Something I expect to see. At some point I will choose to climb When I’m ready to mend the hurt Why should I just be satisfied To stay knee deep in dirt
I know that you’ve promised In your time you’ll set me free Fill my mind until it’s time To exit my heart’s poverty I see your plans before me I know that you care So lift me up until it’s time To answer my every prayer
I look up and I see all those Who seem to be just fine It’s hard now to remember That they too have had their times. In life sometimes we take a turn A target of an evil plan For now we just must wait for God To show his saving hand
I know that you’ve promised In your time you’ll set me free Fill my mind until it’s time To exit my heart’s poverty I see your plans before me I know that you care So lift me up until it’s time To answer my every prayer
