I lift my eyes to the hills,
I lift my eyes to the hills-
where does my help come from?
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord.
My help comes from the Lord,
maker of heaven, maker of earth.

I will look up to the hills above me,
to the One I know will always love me;
he is my strength and he is my shield
and he’ll never let me fall.
Day and night he has me in his keeping,
never slumbering and never sleeping;
he is my strength and he is my shield
and he is my all in all.

2. And I will trust in the Lord,
and I will trust in the Lord
now and for ever,
now and for ever.
For his promise is sure,
for his promise is sure:
he will watch over me for evermore.

I will look up to the hills above me,
to the One I know will always love me;
he is my strength and he is my shield
and he’ll never let me fall.
Day and night he has me in his keeping,
never slumbering and never sleeping;
he is my strength and he is my shield
and he is my all in all.
He is my strength and he is my shield
and he is my all in all.

(Based on Psalm 121)
