From the recording My Treasure
A Christian life on earth is like running a race of patience and faith. However, when He personally arrives to encourage us, it suddenly becomes a feast of the highest delight.
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, …" (Hebrews 12: 1-2)
"Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee" (Psalm 73:25)
"I will keep my vows by offering songs of thanksgiving to you. ... Your vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto you. ... " (Psalm 56:12)
Lyrics
YOU LIFTED ME HIGH
You lifted me high
I gained you as mine
No one, and nothing, can hinder my joy
Let's take this moment to celebrate
And rejoice while my race is still on
With You, I now have everything
My heart has come to rest
Completely satisfied
Offering of praises I present to You
Again, let me say, I love You
Besides You, whom do I have in the heaven?
Besides You, on the earth, there is nothing that I desire
With You, I now have everything
My heart has come to rest
Completely satisfied
Offering of praises I present to You
Again, let me say, I love You
(Repeat Chorus)
With You, I now have everything
My heart has come to rest
Completely satisfied.
Offering of praises I present to You
Again, let me say, I love You.
