[Verse 1]
You said a long time ago that you would return one day
and here you are sending your spirit to guide me into the unknown
[Chorus]
Jesus take me away, lift me up above the clouds today and hold me forever
[Verse 2]
now that I know that you are near I can shed my fear and dry my tears
knowing that the evils of men can never hurt me again
[Chorus]
Jesus take me away, lift me up above the clouds today and hold me forever
[Verse 3]
I know my future will be safe in the plans you made for me
I shall forget all my worries and become what you want me to be
[Chorus]
Jesus take me away, lift me up above the clouds today and hold me forever
