Sia Beaton - I Lift Him Up to You Lyrics

He made mistakes that he must pay for - there's nothing more that I can do
You gave him to me as a baby - Now he's a man
And I must give him back to you
From all the hurt that he's caused others, and all the hidden pain he feels
Open his eyes to seek forgiveness - Give him grace
Show him Your power to heal
Take him in Your loving hand - Hear the cries of his heart
He was my baby boy - He is forever your child
I know that You love him more, than I could ever do
From my broken heart, I let go
Lord, I lift him up to you
He chose a path that led to darkness - a place that I just could not go
As he walks that lonely pathway, let him know
He doesn't have to walk alone
He walks in chains and sits in silence - His heart is wounded and ashamed
But every road offers salvation. You'll give him hope
If he just whispers Your name
Take him in Your loving hand - Hear the cries of his heart
He was my baby boy - He is forever your child
I know that You love him more than I could ever do
From my broken heart, I let go
Lord, I lift him up to You
I let go
Lord, I lift him up to You
I lift him up - up to You
