I Get Down and He Lifts Me Up

I love this song so much. This is the song that spoke so very much to me during the extremely difficult mini marathon I ran last April, not long after my mom died. Here are the lyrics. I may have some of them wrong; I don't have the greatest ears for words in songs. (When I was little I thought 'Taking Care of Business' was 'Taking Care of Biscuits'.) Hope this song lifts you up today! Happy Friday!

I GET DOWN AND HE LIFTS ME UP:

Lavish me,
Lifes are wasted
Humbledness is left untasted
You can’t live your life to please yourself
That’s a tip from my mistake, exactly what it doesn’t say--
To win you have to come in last place. To live your life you’ve got to lose it, and all the losers get a crown.

I get down, He lifts me up,
I get down, He lifts me up,
I get down, He lifts me up,
I get down…

All I need is another day
where I can’t seem to get away
from the many things that drag me down.
I’m sure you’ve had a day like me
when nothing seems to set you free
from burdens you can’t carry all alone.
In your weakness He is stronger,
In your darkness He shines through,
when you’re crying He’s your comfort,
When you’re all alone, He’s carrying you.

I get down, He lifts me up,
I get down, He lifts me up,
I get down, He lifts me up,

I get down, He lifts me up,
I get down, He lifts me up,
I get down, He lifts me up,
Everytime I’m down the Lord lifts me up

This valley is so deep, I can barely see the sun,
I cry out for mercy Lord and You lift me up again!

I get down, and He lifts me up,
I get down, He lifts me up,
I get down, He lifts me up,
I get down

I get down, and He lifts me up,
I get down, He lifts me up,
I get down, He lifts me up,
I get down


Everytime I’m down the Lord lifts me up, Yeah!
