Whenever I'm low and sinking down
When I'm overwhelmed and doubts abound
When I've lost all heart and the will to fight
When despair sets in and my day is night
Lift up my head, make steel my gaze
Cast out my fear, move me to faith
Surrendered in praise
To Your glorious grace, Jesus
Whenever I'm tired and I feel alone
When oppression mounts and trials come
When the father of lies, his arrows fly
When there are no answers
And my dreams, they die
Lift up my head, make steel my gaze
Cast out my fear, move me to faith
Surrendered in praise
To Your glorious grace, Jesus
In my heart of hearts where these battles rage
My strength it fails and my courage fades
In my distress I cry aloud to You
You lift my head, and You've steeled my gaze
And You've cast out fear, and I'm moved to faith
Surrendered in praise
To Your glorious grace, Jesus
