He Lifts Me Up Poem by Becky LaPrarie

Though at times life may knock me down to the ground
Life isn’t nearly as difficult as Satan would have me to believe…

Things are difficult because sometimes I get tired of getting
Up again and making the same mistakes repeatedly…

God lifts me up when I am down
He dusts’ me off and gives me a new hope…

Pure and clean I stand before our Lord
All washed white as snow once more

He gives me strength to press onward
So I speak softly in my mind
I tell myself: “he is with you”
Even when you cannot press on alone

His strength is my strength
His hope is my hope
In him I shall breathe
And be freed from a world
Of doubts and fears
In him I shall again stand firmly

He lifts me up when life lets me down
He sends more love than my heart can hold
He holds my hand when I am afraid of what
Is just up ahead
