You raise me up on eagle’s wings
to soar above all earthly things
that pull me down, that hold me fast,
that I may rise with Christ at last.

You raise me up to heights above
through your self-giving covenant love,
that on the cross, for all the earth
the Saviour died to give new birth.

You raise me up when I am down
to offer me the victor’s crown,
and place it there upon my head -
the hope of Christ, risen from the dead.

You raise me up to hear your voice.
In life and death I can rejoice.
Your Spirit gives eternal peace -
from sin and guilt I find release.

You raise me up to set me free
from darkness that imprisons me.
The light of Christ dispels all fear
and now I know that you are near.

You raise me up to life again.
Past and tradition have no gain.
Christ brings me now, from Law to Grace
that I may look upon your face.

I come to you almighty God,
for in the steps of Christ I’ve trod.
Father and Son and Spirit too,
my life, my all, I give to you.
