Looking Up

Daddy was a preacher

The man I wanted to be

No, he didn't wear a cape and he couldn't fly

But he was a hero to me

Even heroes are human

But there's one thing I always knew

The whole time I was lookin' up to him

He was lookin' up to You, You, You, You

Now I'm somebody's daddy

I got two beautiful girls

They look at me like they think I hung the moon

And I feel the weight of their world

And I don't know how to lead them

So, lead my every move

'Cause I know those eyes lookin' up to me

That's why I'm lookin' up to You, You, You, You

I don't wanna take a step unless You lead it

I don't wanna speak a word unless You breathe it

God I'm lookin' up, keep me lookin' up

Lookin' up to the light I know will guide me

And I pray every day You find me

Find me lookin' up, always lookin' up

I've been workin' my whole life

To stand up on this stage

In front of a crowd under the bright lights

Yeah, but one thing has changed

I used to dream of the day it was my name

That everybody knew

Now I know that You led me here to leave 'em

Lookin' up to You, You, You

I don't wanna take a step unless You lead it

I don't wanna speak a word unless You breathe it

God I'm lookin' up, keep me lookin' up

Lookin' up to the light I know will guide me

And I pray every day You find me

Find me lookin' up, always lookin' up

To You

Can we look it up, yeah

Always lookin' up

Lord, I'm lookin' up to You

I'm lookin' up to You

Dear Lord, when I'm tempted to look at the world around me for satisfaction only You can provide, keep me lookin' up to You. When troubles surround me, and I'm tempted to fix my eyes on my circumstances, keep me lookin' up to You. I'm tryin' to lead my family, help me remember that starts by followin'. Lord, keep me lookin' up to You. Always lookin' up to You. Amen.
