Above It All

From Paul: First song of the 2005 year. I wrote this as a prayer to Heavenly Father to help me overcome the problems and trials in my life, and then be able to be a guiding light to those who come after me. It really sum's up my mission in singing.

All Wrongs Avenged!

I never said you were responsible
And never blamed you for the problems in my life
I never turned my back on you
Kept moving forward with the faith that everything
would be alright.

And so I’m here to face the world
With all the problems and the sorrows I can take
But I know that you’re with me
You give me comfort cause I know through everything
that you remain

I want to be a beacon of your grace and love
Spread your glory and give thanks for what you’ve done.

Chorus
Lift me high Above It All
Help me rise Above It All
Help me to be the man
You wanted me to be
Lift me high Above It All
Help me rise Above It All
Help me to be the man
I know that I can be
Oh, I can be

You never promised it’d be easy
Everybody has a cross that they must bear
But I found my strength in you
No matter where I am I know that you are there
You are there

I want to be a beacon of your grace and love
Spread your glory and give thanks for what you’ve
done.

Chorus 

I know that there are more who feel the way I did
Can’t see the light for all the darkness that’s come in
I want to show them that your love is here to stay
Reach out and take your hand, and you will lead the Way.

Lift us high Above It All
Help us rise Above It All
Help us to be the ones
You wanted us to be
Lift us high Above It All
Help us rise Above It All
Help us to be the ones
I know that we can be
Oh, we can be.
