Higher

Lead me higher, lead me higher
And lift my eyes up to the light way
I can see all the pain coming to an end
Oh, lead me higher into the fire
Burn away all other desires
And let my heart beat again
Ya, ya
I feel myself rising high above my yesterdays
Yesterday is just a phrase standing in your way
Sun shining reminding me that you rose
Reminding me that I'm yours
And wrapped in righteousness robes
Close to that I get to you the higher that I feel
It's like my spirits been lifted outside the stratosphere
Where death is powerless and pain will never lay a claim
And all the world will proclaim your name forever reigns
Put desire inside of the fire in my bones
Earth groans to see you return to take us home
Soul longs for so long I'm so gone
You on the throne my life no longer my own
Lead me high
Lead me higher, lead me higher
And lift my eyes up to the light way
I can see all the pain coming to an end
Oh, lead me higher into the fire
Burn away all other desires
And let my heart beat again
Ya, ya
It's probably morning, I'm up too early
I'm up too high, the sky below me
Like I'm sitting in a plane, feeling strange
Can't explain how I get to experience these things
Been to plenty cities, spent pretty pennies and ate plenty
Do a show, I come home and feel empty? No
It's never me, I'm glad to say
I've been changed like presidential campaigns
Used to wake up in the morning, pursuing the wrong things
Now I wake up in the morning, pursuing the lord's name
Take me higher than the highest
You're my hope and my desire
Lifting me up hiher in despite of this gravity
Lead me higher
Lead me higher, lead me higher
And lift my eyes up to the light way
I can see all the pain coming to an end
Oh, lead me higher into your fire
Burn away all other desires
And let my heart beat again
Burn away all other desires
And let my heart beat again
I can see all the pain coming to an end
