Higher Heritage

"From the end of the earth will I cry unto Thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.... For Thou, O God... hast given me the heritage of those that fear Thy name" (Psalm 61:2,5).

Lord, higher than I ever dreamed
That I could ever rise,
You lifted me so high, it seemed
To take me by surprise!

The heritage You gave to me
Was not what I expected!
You placed me in Your family
With those by grace perfected.

You lifted me from hopelessness,
The pit that I was in,
And gave to me Your righteousness
And took away my sin.

Everyday, Lord, lead me higher,
By Your Spirit from above
To the Rock of my desire,
To my Savior's changeless love.
