V1
When every step
Is agony and pain
When the light dims
And the striving seems in vein
When my strength is gone
How do I carry on?
But then I realise, I realise...
How can this be a living hell? When youre with me
How can it be anything less than heaven? When youre here with me
Chorus
My fortress
Lift me above the waves
So I can breath...
My refuge
Lift me above the pain
So I can run...
To You
v2
You ask me to run
When I can hardly walk
You ask me to soar
When these fragile wings are torn
You ask me to face, this test of my faith
Will I let you down, will I let you down
But I can hold on a little bit longer, cos I'm holding on to you
I can be just that little bit stronger, cos I'm strong with you
Chorus
My hope
Lift me above the waves
So I can breath...
My shield
Lift me above the pain
So I can run...
To You
How can this be a living hell? When youre here with me
How can it be anything less than heaven? When youre here with me
My God
He lifts me above the waves
So I can breath...
My God
He lifts me above the pain
So I can run...
" Because he loves me, I will deliver him from pain
I will rescue him, for he acknowledges my name
I will cover him, in the shadow of my wings"
Says the Lord, says the Lord
