My Brightest Diamond He Lifted Me Lyrics

Said I’ve been down a long, long road
Seen more sorrow than I’d known before
And of the pride my heart has held, I lay it down
And of the fear that bound my steps, I lay it down
And keep on straight
And keep my head up straight
For he lifted me, oh
For he lifted me, oh

And when these knees of clay are broken by falling
Your hands reach down, smoothly broken, bleeding Making new knees with your grace and with your mercy
Making new knees with your grace and with your love
For little girls like me
For little boys like you
For he lifted me, oh
He lifted me

And so I walk
And so I run
And so I sing and I dance
Unashamed
Unashamed
