Like a full force gale I was lifted up again I was lifted up again by the Lord No matter where I roam I will find my way back home I will always return to the Lord In the gentle evening breeze By the whispering shady trees I will find my sanctuary in the Lord I was headed for a fall Then I saw the writing on the wall Like a full force gale I was lifted up again I was lifted up again by the Lord I was headed for a fall Then I looked up and saw the writing on the wall In the gentle evening breeze By the whispering shady trees I will find my sanctuary in the Lord And no matter where I roam I will find my way back home I will always return to the Lord Like a full force Like a full force gale I was lifted up again I was lifted up again by the Lord I was lifted up again, lifted up I said I was lifted up, by the Lord Lifted up again, lifted up again, lifted up again By the Lord
