Cristo, You Lifted My Eyes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I carried dust from a long road home A worn-out prayer and a heart of stone Then at the chapel by San Miguel Your mercy found me and broke the spell [Pre-Chorus] I had my reasons, I had my pride But You were waiting on the other side [Chorus] Cristo, You lifted my eyes Put a new song in this life Through every trial, You stay near Your faithful hand has brought me here Cristo, my shelter and guide I will praise You all my life From the valley to the open sky Your love is stronger than the night [Verse 2] Mama kept praying beside the stove While winter pressed on the fields below She said, “ hijo, don’t lose your way The Lord still hears what you cannot say” [Pre-Chorus] Now every morning I understand Grace is the bread in an empty hand [Chorus] Cristo, You lifted my eyes Put a new song in this life Through every trial, You stay near Your faithful hand has brought me here Cristo, my shelter and guide I will praise You all my life From the valley to the open sky Your love is stronger than the night [Bridge] No chain can hold what Your mercy frees No storm can drown Your voice in me With my whole family, I will proclaim There is salvation in Jesus’ name [Final Chorus] Cristo, You lifted my eyes Put a new song in this life Through every trial, You stay near Your faithful hand has brought me here Cristo, my shelter and guide I will praise You all my life From the valley to the open sky Your love is stronger than the night [Outro] Your love is stronger than the night Cristo, You are my life
