Lift me up above the clouds
where Thy sunlight I can see.
Let me rise above my doubts,
for a clearer view of Thee.
Lift me up above the clouds,
though it cannot be for long;
for I know on earth below,
others truly need my song.
Lift me up above the clouds,
I'm so weary of earth's gloom;
I feel cramped and oft distressed,
let me be where there is room.
Lift me up above the clouds,
let me view the heavenly dome
of Your universe so vast--
somewhere out there is my home.
Lift me up above the clouds
for a breath of heavenly air
far above earth's dust and fog,
take me up on wings of prayer.
