My eyes grow weak Gazing heavenward Oh, Lord, I am in straights Be my surety!
Like the eyes of a maiden On the hand of her lord So our eyes are stayed upon You So our eyes are stayed upon You
Chorus: I will lift up my eyes Unto the mountains I will lift up my eyes From whence comes my help I will lift up my eyes unto the Lord
I cry through the night Until the dawn Like a swallow, I utter shrill cries You preserved my life From the dark of death When You cast behind Your back All my sins When You cast behind Your back All my sins
