When your heart is heavy
And the walls are closing in
When you can’t find rest
And you don’t know where to begin

When life can make you wonder
What have I done so wrong?
Why all these challenges
And you can’t find that greater song.

Way up above the storms
That song used to lift you high
Carrying you through it all
Till you learned to fly.

But look up to your Maker
He is there for you
He hasn’t left you darling
He is working a way through

So keep your eyes upon Him
And in due time you’ll see
That He never left you, ever
He’s calling you deeper to be.

Stay right by my side, Child
You are my beloved, one
I’m bringing beauty from ashes
Keep your eyes upon my Son.

Don’t ever think I’ve left you
I’m right here by your side
Never will I leave you
You are my joy, my bride.
