In Prayer You Lift Me Up, O God

(Introduction)

(Verse 1)
When life is hard, and burdens rise,
In prayer You lift me up, O God.
When tears of sorrow fill my eyes,
In prayer You lift me up, O God.

(Chorus)
For I behold Your lovely face
And sense Your presence in this place;
I feel Your arms in sweet embrace.
In prayer You lift me up, O God.

(Verse 2)
When troubles come and cares abound,
In prayer You lift me up, O God.
When evil rages all around,
In prayer You lift me up, O God.

(Repeat Chorus)
For I behold Your lovely face
And sense Your presence in this place;
I feel Your arms in sweet embrace.
In prayer You lift me up, O God.

(Bridge)
In prayer my tears and burdens flee;
In prayer Your mercy covers me.
In prayer no foe has victory;
In prayer You lift me up.
For I behold Your lovely face
And sense Your presence in this place;
I feel Your arms in sweet embrace.
In prayer You lift me up!

(Modified Chorus)
O how I love Your lovely face!
I love Your presence in this place!
I love Your arms in sweet embrace!
In prayer You lift me up, O God.

(Ending)
Lift me up, O God...
Lift me up, O God...
Lift me up!
