Face down in the desert, my faith is weak
The heat is high, hope is dry, can't understand it
I've been climbing the branches, but I still can't see
The higher I go, the less I know, starting to panic
When I, when I, when I'm low
All I, all I, all I know
He's gonna lift me up, He's gonna fight for me
It only took a single stone to drop a Philistine
When I'm in the fire, He is next to me
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
Rescue me
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
He's a faithful companion, He watches me
All my life, by my side, never abandoned
He's a mighty shepherd, protecting me
Whom shall I fear? When God is near, the demons scatter
When I, when I, when I'm low
All I, all I, all I know, yeah
He's gonna lift me up, He's gonna fight for me
It only took a single stone to drop a Philistine
When I'm in the fire, He is next to me
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
Rescue me
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
You come at me with sword and shield
But I come at you in the name of the Lord of Heaven's armies
I lift my hands on the battlefield, oh
I find my strength in the name of the Lord of Heaven's armies
Heaven's armies
He's gonna lift me up, He's gonna fight for me
It only took a single stone to drop a Philistine
When I'm in the fire, He is next to me
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
He's gonna rescue me, rescue me
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
Rescue me (He'll rescue me)
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
The heat is high, hope is dry, can't understand it
I've been climbing the branches, but I still can't see
The higher I go, the less I know, starting to panic
When I, when I, when I'm low
All I, all I, all I know
He's gonna lift me up, He's gonna fight for me
It only took a single stone to drop a Philistine
When I'm in the fire, He is next to me
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
Rescue me
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
He's a faithful companion, He watches me
All my life, by my side, never abandoned
He's a mighty shepherd, protecting me
Whom shall I fear? When God is near, the demons scatter
When I, when I, when I'm low
All I, all I, all I know, yeah
He's gonna lift me up, He's gonna fight for me
It only took a single stone to drop a Philistine
When I'm in the fire, He is next to me
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
Rescue me
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
You come at me with sword and shield
But I come at you in the name of the Lord of Heaven's armies
I lift my hands on the battlefield, oh
I find my strength in the name of the Lord of Heaven's armies
Heaven's armies
He's gonna lift me up, He's gonna fight for me
It only took a single stone to drop a Philistine
When I'm in the fire, He is next to me
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
He's gonna rescue me, rescue me
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
Rescue me (He'll rescue me)
When the flame is high, I know He will rescue me
