Verse 1:
Tenors:
He's my bread whenever I'm hungry,
He's my friend whenever I'm lonely.
Altos:
He is my water in dry places,
He's a smile on unfriendly faces.
Sopranos:
He is my comfort in times of sorrow,
He's my hope for every tomorrow.
When I am...
All:
Sad, He tells me that I'm His own,
that is why I praise Him and Him alone.
Chorus 1:
He is my up (when my head is hanging low),
He is my up (when I don't have a place to go).
He is my up (when that old devil tries to keep me down),
He is my up (when it seems like I'm level to the ground);
He is my up when I'm down.
Verse 2:
He gives me strength when I'm feeling weak,
He's always there to make my joy complete.
And when all of my friends are gone,
I can count on Jesus, I can count on Him alone.
(He moves dark clouds) and brings me sunshine,
(in confusion) the Lord, Jesus, He gives me peace of mind.
(Out of all the things that He has done),
(I can thank Him for all of them in one).
Chorus 2:
He is my up (when all of my inspiration is gone),
He is my up (when it seems I'm in this world all alone).
He is my up (when I can't nobody to simply understand),
He is my up (when you say I can't, God says I can).
He is my up when I'm down;
oh yes, He is,
oh yes, He is.
Vamp:
Oh yes, He is,
oh yes, He is,
oh yes, He is.
Chorus 3:
He is my up (I can't repay Him for all He's done for me),
He is up (He loosed my shackles, King Jesus, set me free).
He is my up (He put a joy down in my soul),
He is my up (He saved me and He filled me with the Holy Ghost);
He is my up when I'm down.
