Reaching Higher

Music and words by Sharon Zwaagstra


You bind the wounds of the broken heart,
And You set the captives free,
Now You've called me forth to proclaim the praise
Of the one who died for me.

So we give our lives just to live for truth,
To give more of us to know more of You.
We forsake the world to take hold of You.
Only You can satisfy.

Grant us vision, Lord, to follow You,
And the grace to comprehend
All the mysteries of eternal truth
And the faith on which we stand.

You have called us friends so we serve You.
We partake of higher ways.
Reaching higher, Lord, for a life fulfilled,
Merely channels for Your grace.
