Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

There are days I?m so afraid i?m so consumed with worry

Thinking about the destination can?t enjoy the journey

Praying hard but in my heart I wonder if you heard me

Just as I start to give up hope I feel your spirit stirring

when the fears arise in me

I will lift my eyes to see


(Chorus:)

I look to you 

when I?m staring at my mountains

scared that I can?t move ?em

Oh God

I look to you 

when I wander in the valley

I know that you are with me

Leading

Me to the truth

In all that I do

I look to you



There are nights I lie awake just thinking how I failed you

Focused on what I don?t have and who I can?t compare to

But then you crash into the room and offer me a rescue

Lift my head and tell me that your mercy has made me new

And finally I believe

When I lift my eyes to see
