Lifted From The Sea by Richard Shekari from Abuja, Fct Nigeria

lifted from the sea.

intro:
he’s got the whole wide world; he’s got the whole world in his hands.

verse 1:
when the world weighs you down and tomorrow feels unsure,
put your trust in the lord, let your faith in him endure.
he walked on water, he fed the thousands — he’ll surely calm your fears.
he gave his life to save us all; in his hands, he holds our tears.

pre-chorus:
he’s got the whole wide world, he’s got the whole world in his hands.
he’s got the whole wide world, jesus holds the whole world in his hands.

chorus:
bring all your burdens to the lord, lay your worries at his throne.
bring all your troubles to the lord, leave them there — you’re not alone.

verse 2:
those who seek him surely find that the lord is good and kind.
those who put their trust in him find their rest within his light.
those who upon the lord — he will lift them from the sea.
those who run into his arms, he will quench their thirst for truth. *pre-chorus + chorus*

bridge:
he’s the light that never fades, the peace the world can’t give.
he’s the strength when we are weak, the reason that we live.
so lift your eyes to heaven’s throne and let your heart believe —
the one who calmed the raging storm still says, “come, and follow me.” *pre-chorus + chorus*
