Weekly Song: Lift My Head by A.J. Cheek

Lyrics – Preview – Buy Song – Order Album

Lord, where do we start?
Where to begin?
The water is rising to my neck
Fear has left me trembling
Where did I go wrong?
I left the shore out on my own
And wrecked my ship upon dark waters I have loved

And I’m sinking still
And I’m wondering will

Will you lift my head
Give me eyes to see again
Won’t you lift my head
To see I’m not home yet
But, I feel my heart raising from the dead
When you lift my head

I’ve cried, I’ve spoke
But the words are caught in my throat
Can’t speak, Can’t breathe
I can’t even see what’s in front of me
And the worst part of it all
Is I know that I deserve to fall
I’ll take all the blame
And sleep in this bed I’ve made

And I’m wondering will

Bridge
Oh lord, I’ve held so tightly
To the things that will drown me
That are bringing me down
And oh lord! I’m crying for mercy
Its all that can help me

Oh God
Lift my head
And give me eyes to see again
Oh won’t you lift my head
To see I’m not home yet
But I feel my heart raising from the dead
When you lift my head
