Intro
As I lay me down,
Heaven hears my sound.
Verse 1
After all that I've been through,
Who on earth can I turn to?
All the walls came crashing in,
I was lost in the howling wind.
But in the silence, I heard Your voice—
The only one that gave me a choice.
Pre-Chorus
No strength on my own,
But I’m never alone.
Chorus
I look to You, when the night is long,
You lift me up, You make me strong.
No more tears, no more doubt,
You’re the reason I made it out.
Every time I fall, You pull me through—
That's why I look to You.
Verse 2
Every mountain I couldn't climb,
You moved it in Your time.
Every door that stayed closed tight,
You opened it with light.
And when the world turns away,
You’re the one who stays.
Pre-Chorus
I’ve run out of fear,
Now I see it clear.
Chorus
I look to You, when the night is long,
You lift me up, You make me strong.
No more tears, no more doubt,
You’re the reason I made it out.
Every time I fall, You pull me through—
That's why I look to You.
Bridge
When the storm begins to rise,
I see forever in Your eyes.
Even in the darkest skies—
You’re my hope, my light, my guide.
Final Chorus (Choir backing)
I look to You, my heart, my flame,
You took my fear and called my name.
No more chains, no more pain,
You washed me clean in Your rain.
Every time I fall, You pull me through—
That's why I look to You...
Outro
