Lyrics
Raise Me Up Again Chorus: Save me, save me, LordSave me from the snare I wove myself. Save me, save me, LordSave me from the darkness I once mistook for joy. Verse 1: Too often, Lord, I run from Your holy presence. Too often my sin has driven me far from Your sacred throne. My restless flesh keeps pulling down my soul; And in the wilderness I stumble, with no one to lead me home. Pre-Chorus: I have fallen, Fatherfallen short of all Your glory. I can’t lift my head again; raise me up, I’m sorry. *Chorus* Verse 2: Break every bridge that binds my heart to this world; Align my soul with Your calling and Your merciful throne. Consume my impure desires in Your fire, Forever, let my heart burn only for You, Lord. Pre-Chorus: I surrender to You, my God; receive my heart as I bow before Your throne. O Holy Father, here I stand; You are all I have as I bow before Your throne. *Chorus* Bridge: When I stray, the shadows rise and choke the light within; My heart grows cold and fragile under the weight of sin. But Your Word is strength and shelter when my flesh betrays my soul So I cling to You, my Saviour; in You alone I’m made whole. *Pre-Chorus 1 + Chorus* Copyright 2025 Richard Shekari. Written, Produced and Performed by Richard Shekari.
