I Lift Up My Eyes

I lift up my eyes (I lift up my eyes)
I lift up my cry (I lift up my cry)
To the hills around Jerusalem
To the God of all the earth
I lift up my eyes
I lift up my eyes

Who is our helper
The Lord of Heaven
He will deliver
God of all the earth
Who will preserve us
The mighty God will save
He will deliver
God of all the earth

Lift up your eyes
Lift up your eyes
He will deliver you
Lift up your eyes

I lift up my eyes
I lift up my eyes
I lift up my eyes
I lift up my eyes
I lift up my eyes
