Lift My Chin, Lord

Why so downcast, oh my soul?
God is the comfort you crave
Why so downcast, oh my soul?
He has the power to save
The Lord delights in drying tears
In binding hearts, in soothing fears
Rejoice once more my soul
And call to Him in faith:

Lift my chin, Lord
May I look upon Your face
Raise my head, Lord
I need to know Your grace
Plant my feet, Lord
In a safe and holy place
Let me stand through Jesus Christ
In Your embrace

Why so downcast, oh my soul?
The Shepherd is faithful and true
Why so downcast, oh my soul?
He’s promised to care for you
The Lord delights in reaching low
In touching me so I will know
That His love will never end
And so I pray again:

Lift my chin, Lord
May I look upon Your face
Raise my head, Lord
I need to know Your grace
Plant my feet, Lord
In a safe and holy place
Let me stand through Jesus Christ
Let me stand with Jesus Christ
Let me stand in Jesus Christ
In Your embrace
