Never Mine to Keep

Verse 1

Carried a weight

That was never mine to hold

But You told me put it down

Let heaven take control

Learning how to breathe

In the middle of the storm

The lifting isn't mine

It's the arms that keep me warm

Pre-Chorus

So I'm reaching up

Through the noise and through the ache

I'm reaching up

For the One who bends and breaks

Every wall that tries to stay

Chorus

I lift up my hands

Lift up my eyes again and again

The weight I carried

Was never mine to keep

So I lift I lift I lift it up

Lift it up

And I know I'm not the only one

Holding on too tight

So I give it to Jesus

And I'm lifting up tonight

Post-Chorus

Lift it up

Lift it up

Oh yeah

Verse 2

No perfect words

Just a heart turned toward Your face

Every fear that finds me

Meets the ground when I give way

So I'm reaching for the sky

With whatever's in my chest

The lifting up of praise

Is how broken hearts find rest

Pre-Chorus

So I'm reaching up

Past the doubt and past the strain

I'm reaching up

There is nothing left to explain

Only freedom in Your name

Chorus

I lift up my hands

Lift up my eyes again and again

The weight I carried

Was never mine to keep

So I lift I lift I lift it up

Lift it up

And I know I'm not the only one

Holding on too tight

So I give it to Jesus

And I'm lifting up tonight

Bridge

Come on my spirit

Don't you stay down low

Lift it up lift it up

There's a freedom you don't know

Let it go let it go

Every chain has got to fall

Lift it up lift it up

Let the Savior have it all

Come on my spirit

Rise up off the floor

Lift it up lift it up

He is worthy so much more

Chorus

I lift up my hands

Lift up my eyes again and again

The weight I carried

Was never mine to keep

So I lift I lift I lift it up

Lift it up

And I know I'm not the only one

Holding on too tight

So I give it to Jesus

And I'm lifting up tonight

Outro

Lift it up

Lift it up

Tonight
