The God above
Who keeps us here in love
You held my name
When I could not stand up
I woke to grace
In the cup and the bread
Your mercy stayed
In the folded hands we prayed
[Verse 2]
And I look up high
past the fear in my hands
You wrote my life
on a better plan
[Chorus]
When I gave up
Lord you were my song
You were never too far gone
Written still above
Written still above
So I lift my eyes, without end
to the One who lives again
[Verse 3]
When days run thin
and the air turns hard
you stay the same
right where you are
No crack in your word
no slip in your hold
you gather the weak
and you make them strong
[Verse 2]
And I look up high
past the tear and the blame
You wrote my home
with a holy name
[Chorus]
When I gave up
Lord you were my song
You were never too far gone
Written still above
Written still above
So I lift my eyes, without end
to the One who lives again
[Bridge]
If I lose my breath
you are still my song
If I lose my way
you were never too far gone
God above, God above
If this life I lose
God above, God above
Remain of what you chose
[Chorus]
When I gave up
Lord you were my song
You were never too far gone
Written still above
Written still above
So I lift my eyes, without end
to the One you kept here of
