Twila Paris's 'Lookin' Up' is an uplifting Christian song about choosing to focus on God rather than on life's disappointments. The lyrics express weariness with being let down but resolve to lift one's eyes to God, who is the source of help. The song emphasizes trust in God's care, knowledge of our innermost being, and His power and love that never run out. It encourages believers to look to God as Father and Creator, confident that He knows what is best. The repeated refrain 'I know where my help comes from' echoes Psalm 121, reinforcing a message of hope and reliance on God's faithfulness.

I'm so tired of being let down
Got no time for lookin' at the ground
I will lift my eyes
To the mountaintop so high
Lookin' up, lookin' up
'Cause I know where my help comes from
Lookin' up, lookin' up
'Cause I know where my help comes from
When the world is falling around me
I will not be fooled by what I see
I will lift my eyes
To the mountaintop so high
Lookin' up, lookin' up
'Cause I know where my help comes from
Lookin' up, lookin' up
'Cause I know where my help comes from
Looking to Him, He is my Father
And I know He cares about me
Looking to Him, He is the only One
Who knows me inside out
Looking to Him, because He made me
And He knows the best thing for me
Looking to Him sure that His power
And His love will not run out
Lookin' up, lookin' up
'Cause I know where my help comes from
Lookin' up, lookin' up
'Cause I know where my help comes from
Lookin' up, lookin' up
'Cause I know where my help comes from
Lookin' up, lookin' up
'Cause I know where my help comes from
Lookin' up, lookin' up
'Cause I know where my help comes from
Lookin' up, lookin' up
'Cause I know where my help comes from...
