We Are Messengers' song 'Look Up' encourages believers to keep their eyes on God, especially during difficult seasons. The lyrics contrast the valley—a place of humility and dependence—with the mountaintop, where feelings can distract from God. The central image is love personified in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, described as a man hanging on a tree. The song also references Psalm 23, promising God's presence and peace even in dark valleys. It's a worshipful reminder to look up to Christ, who is always watching over us.

I live my life in the valley
It keeps my eyes on you
I stay broken in the valley
Yeah that's what valley's do
If I wanna catch a glimpse of something bigger than me
I have to look up and when I look up
I see that love is a man hanging on a tree
With his heart poured out for me
Love is a king watching over me
And when I look up
He's all I see
He's all I see
I'm tired of chasing after feelings
That are only found on mountaintops
'Cause when I'm standing on the top of everything
I'm looking down not looking up
So if I wanna catch a glimpse of something bigger than me
I have to look up
And when I look up
I see that love is a man hanging on a tree
With his heart poured out for me
Love is a king watching over me
And when I look up
He's all I see
So when I walk through the valley I will not be afraid
I will hold to the promise that you're walking with me
God you lead me through waters where I lay down to rest
And I look up
Yeah when I look up
I see that love is a man who was hanging on a tree
With his heart Poured out for me
I see that love is a king watching over me
And when I look up
He's all I see
Love is a man hanging on a tree
With his heart
Pouring out for me
Love is a king watching over me
And when I look up
He's all I see
When I look up
He's all I see
When I look up
He's all I see
He's all I see
