In the eye of the storm, You remain in control And in the middle of the war, You guard my soul You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn Your love surrounds me in the eye of the storm When the solid ground is falling out from underneath my feet Between the black skies, and my red eyes, I can barely see When I realize I've been sold out by my friends and my family I can feel the rain reminding me In the eye of the storm, You remain in control In the middle of the war, You guard my soul You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn Your love surrounds me in the eye of the storm Mmm, when my hopes and dreams are far from me And I'm runnin' out of faith I see the future, I picture, slowly fade away And when the tears of pain and heartache Are pouring down my face I find my peace in Jesus' name In the eye of the storm (yeah, yeah) You remain in control (yes you do, Lord) In the middle of the war, You guard my soul You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn Your love surrounds me (Your love surrounds me) In the eye of the storm (in the eye of the storm) When the test comes in and the doctor says I've only got a few months left It's like a bitter pill I'm swallowing I can barely take a breath And when addiction steals my baby girl And there's nothing I can do My only hope is to trust You I trust You, Lord In the eye of the storm (yeah, yeah) You remain in control In the middle of the war (middle of the war) You guard my soul (yeah) You alone are the anchor (ooh) when my sails are torn Your love surrounds me (yeah) In the eye of the storm, You remain in control (yes you do, Lord) In the middle of the war (in the middle of the war) You guard my soul You alone are the anchor (ooh) when my sails are torn Your love surrounds me in the eye of the storm Oh, in the eye of, Lord, in the eye of the storm I know You're watching me, yeah Ay When the storm is raging (when the storm is raging) And my hope is gone (and my hope is gone, Lord) When my flesh is failing, You're still holding on, oh, whoa When the storm is raging (the storm is raging) And my hope is gone (and all my hope is gone) When my flesh is failing (my flesh is failing) You're still holding on, ooh When the storm is raging (when the storm is raging) And my hope is gone (and my hope is gone) Even when my flesh is failing (flesh is failing) You're still holding on, holding on The Lord is my Shepherd I have all that I need He lets me rest in green meadows He leads me beside peaceful streams He renews my strength He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to His Name Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid For You are close beside me

You delivered my soul from condemnation, keep me from stumbling (Psalm 56:13) In the toughest of times, keeping me in line, Through the trials and the oppositional sufferings Losing everything I ever worked for, thinking life is over, so I turned to You Then You showed me that losing everything to gain Christ Is the pinnacle of life, eternal life is knowing You In the midst of my suffering, there You are standing close never remaining afar Giving me child-like faith, I know You'll catch me Father if I let go of the bars There is no other like You, there is no other that's true Faithful with never-ending compassionate lovingkindness in everything that You do! Hosanna, Hosanna, yes, You are mighty to save Hosanna, Hosanna, Hallelujah, You conquered the grave! My Savior, You lift me up when my heavy heart is weary My Redeemer, Your love never fails and is always constantly near me! My Shelter and my refuge, the One who knows my heart For the joy set before You, our salvation, You endured the cross (Hebrews 12:2) So I consider all my sufferings at the present time Unworthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed to us! (Rom. 8:18) You lift me up Lord Jesus, lift me on eagle's wings You lift me up Lord Jesus, lifting my heart to sing You lift me up Lord Jesus, You are my everything Jesus, apart from You, I can't do anything O Lord, You're incredibly patient; Your love, it overwhelms. Though I mess up every single day you hold me close; In Your house, I choose to dwell. Sometimes my ways are crooked, misguided, or straight up wrong. Often I put up a front, for my friends, that I am strong. I don't wanna show my weakness; I gotta have it all together when I'm talking bout Jesus. I must be perfect; Who wants to listen to a guy who's flawed and conceited? Look at your other brothers with solid discourse and are never flustered; You need to brush up on your speech, it's lacking luster. My best was never good enough; compared to other saints I didn't measure up. I failed again. Man, I feel like giving up. Such an empty life; God, I need Your holy touch. My heart said I didn't need your mercy, but you called my bluff. You saw right through me; I'm just a little kid trying to act all tough. My calloused heart turned fleshy; the walls are crumbling down. I don't need to look a certain way; I don't gotta have a certain style. I've regained my vision and my sin has been exposed. God, thank you for setting me straight back on this narrow road. You lift me up Lord Jesus, lift me on eagle's wings You lift me up Lord Jesus, lifting my heart to sing You lift me up Lord Jesus, You are my everything Jesus, apart from You, I can't do anything
