Lift Your Eyes (Heavenward)

(Jaime Marie)

These lyrics are from the perspective of a weary Christian who, in the spirit of the psalmist, exhorts himself/herself to lift their eyes to heaven. There is ultimately a beautiful resolution as comfort is found in the arms of Jesus.

Verse
Look to heaven oh my soul, 
Oh my soul why do you cry? 
Turn your eyes, turn your heart 
To the Rock that is higher than I! 
Though the way is so weary, 
Though your heart is so torn, 
Though you are exhausted and 
You feel scraped and worn: 

Chorus
Keep putting one foot in front of the other, 
Know Who you’re walking towards, 
He is good, He is able, and He is oh so faithful, 
Precious Jesus, I am yours. 

Verse
Though the way is long, 
Long but my soul will not fear
Lift your eyes, turn your mind
To the one Ever Present and near
Though the way is fearsome, 
Though darkened is your gaze, 
Turn your eyes to Jesus and 
Give Him all the Praise.

Mazarine

By Erika Poling

"A deep purplish blue derived from cobalt, mazarine falls somewhere between hyacinth, sapphire and cyanine. Historically, this distinctive colour has been associated with textiles (particularly academic dress) and ceramics, but how or why it came to be known as mazarine is up for debate with two etymologies often cited (Ward, 2015)."

Neuanfang

By Nadine Schulze

Dieser Text beschreibt einen schrecklichen "Klassiker" im Bereich Liebe. Der Mann brennt mit der besten Freundin durch bzw. die Frau mit dem besten Kumpel. Schlimmer geht es kaum, da man gleich zwei Menschen verliert, die man geliebt hat und denen man blind vertraute. Dieser Text soll einem Betroffenen Mut machen, das alles hinter sich zu lassen und einen Neuanfang zu wagen.

MESSENGER

By Annabel Chima

This lyric conveys the racy chase between man and woman when their sensual side has been heightened. It is very sensual, sexy and fierce. The vibes and atmosphere of the lyrics are very much adult - content and innuendo. There is a French flare which adds to the romanticism. You're guaranteed a heated audience. It fits perfectly into most genres.
