About this Hymn
This powerful praise anthem, born from the African American church, was written by Richard Smallwood and is deeply rooted in the theme of Psalm 121: Our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. This heartfelt cry of worship fits seamlessly into various settings and is used often as a doxology. Additionally, it provides a wonderful opportunity to encourage congregational harmony and serves as a stirring benediction to times of worship.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Lord, I will lift my eyes to the hills, knowing my help is coming from you. Your peace you give me in time of the storm.

You are the source of my strength, you are the strength of my life. I lift my hands in total praise to you.
