Life’s got me low, got me low
Cut me down to where I never thought I’d go
Like a river running dry
Life’s drained the joy right out of my soul
Aw, life’s got me low

Each new page is a challenge
Seems I can never get things right
Lately I’ve been stuck down in the valley
With no mountain top in sight
We all need to feel the comfort
Of God’s mighty, gentle hand
Lifting us out of the muck and mire
When we find out that we can’t

CHORUS:

Move about this life, making it so right

Grabbing that bull by the horns

It’ll knock you out; it’ll buck you off, before very long

And when you find yourself in that same old place

Needing a helping hand…

When you think you got no more tears to cry

You get back up and start all over again

*****

When you’re lost in that stormy night
And you’re walking through the rain
Focus on what’s right
Hold the hand of God so tight
Until the sun comes out again
Hold fast there is a purpose
He is with you in the strife
Cling hard to Jesus when there’s no end in sight
With every night there is a dawn
And in every hurt you can be strong
His strength and love will see you through
So let go of your despair
Grab onto the hand of hope that’s right there
Reaching out to you…

CHORUS

When you feel stranded in the darkness
You gotta move toward the light
The light that will guide the way for you
Is always burning bright
When surrounded by the enemy
And fear builds up inside
Pray to the savior, with all of your might…
That He strengthens you to stand up tall
And gives you faith to get through it all
Even in the dead of night
Because the prince of this land
Has no claim on your life

He’ll pick you up, when life drags you down
And lift you to a place where grace and love abound
No more river running dry
He’ll fill you up and dry your eyes
When you go down
When you go down
