Ruth's Ramblings

Jill Paquette - Lift My Eyes
From the album Jill Paquette

Throwing off the fetters and working on a smile
Because it's time that I felt better, oh than I have in a while
I want to say I need You don't leave until I try
'cause I've been holding onto shadows, holding them inside
and they come from what I've learned in life and they put my faith to the test
testing my drive, pulling me under but hope won’t be kept down forever

Chorus:
Lift my eyes, I've seen light lost to darkness but You made a promise
So lift my eyes, trusting You will be faithful I'll do all that I'm able
Believing there's freedom in a life lived forgiven

No room here for the both of you, but who should I ask to go
One holding out my pardon, one holding all I've ever known
Love tells me without speaking resonating in my soul
With a light that's ever reaching, ever letting me go
And some things put my faith to the test
Testing my drive and it's not over, oh no it's not nearly finished yet

Chorus
