In this crazy world of ours, who lifts you up?
Undoubtedly, much of the life we live is based on our individual interpretations. From artwork to relationships, everyone interprets things differently which helps to create a world of uniqueness.
When I first heard the song “Lift Me Up” by The Afters, I had no idea that their pop-rock sound and the underlying meaning was deeply rooted in Christianity. But after doing a little research I discovered they were a Contemporary Christian group, and the person they referenced in the song was in fact God.
What’s funny about all this is how I was thinking of someone completely different when I first heard the lyrics. That got me to thinking that while our belief in a higher power may be important, believing in someone where you are right now – someone who lifts you up – is invaluable.
My wife was the first person I thought of – for you it might be a parent or a friend or someone else entirely. Regardless of who that person might be, I hope your life and your beliefs can be found in more than just a higher power. For there are some powerful individuals here on earth who possess the amazing ability to somehow lift you up just when you need it.
Lift Me Up by The Afters
Waiting for the sunrise, waiting for the day
Waiting for a sign, that I’m where you want me to be
You know my heart is heavy, and the hurt is deep
But when I feel like giving up, you’re reminding me
That we all fall down sometimes, but when I hit the ground
You lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I’m letting go
You lift me up when I can’t see
Your heart is all that I need
Your love carries me so I’m letting go
I know I’m not perfect, I know I make mistakes
I know that I have let you down, but you love me the same
And when I’m surrounded, when I lose my way
When I’m crying out and falling down, you are here to
Lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I’m letting go
You lift me up when I can’t see
Your heart is all that I need
Your love carries me so I’m letting go
