Pick Me Up Again
Verse 1: Father, take control; heal my weary soul.
I’m tired of trying on my own.
You are my only hope. I cannot break these ropes
That hold me down.
Jesus take my wicked heart. You are the One I’m seeking.
I’m trying hard to do my part. I fall before You weeping.
God, how can I be so vile?! I’ve walked this path for quite a while.
Loose me from my cruel bonds of sin. Take it all – cleanse my heart,
And pick me up again.
Verse 2: After all I know, how can I be so low?
I’m feeling my weakness, O my God.
My heart is so estranged, and I do not want to change –
What can be done?
I have no power of my own to change my wrong desires.
If left alone, they’d burn my soul, just like a raging fire.
Pour Your water on my flames, take away my sin and shame.
I’ve fallen and I’m humble now. Look at me, I’m at Your feet –
Now pick me up again.
Bridge: Lord, I know my thoughts need to be right,
For thoughts will lead to actions.
So let my heart’s meditations be pleasing in Your sight.
Verse 3: Mom said the other day, when skies were looking gray,
"You don’t have to pick yourself up."
And I know it’s true; I put my trust in You.
You’ll pick me up.
When I struggle with myself, only You can help me.
In my past, You’ve been my help, no matter what befell me.
So by Your grace I will get through. With all my heart I’ll cling to You.
And in this battle, we will win. Moving on, I’ll sing this song:
You’ll pick me up again.
