UP It's Your presence  It's love  That takes me  Up  Up  Up Soaring straight  Up To You  In this atmosphere  I ride  O n the winds of clarity I spread my wings You brush me with your hand  D istraction Self absorption They leave me now  Resistance is fading Your Spirit consumes me I'm Surrendered And carried Where weight is not known  And heights Have no bounds I can hear You sing Each  note   Crystal clear Drawing me higher    and  h igher  Right beside You My Spirit's in sync With every beat on the drum Your love touches m y heart  And let's me know My life is Your song  I worship You  My Jesus My Savior My God Blessings, Terry
