I RAISE UP MY VOICE I raise up my voice and sing Praises to He who gives me everything To Our Father, who blesses us all, If we will only answer His call, I promise a new life to begin One where I repent of my sin And through baptism by water and fire I'll promise when serving Him, I'll not tire I raise up my voice in praise To He who from his grave did raise So that all of us could decide If we'll accept the blessings He'll provide As long as we do as Our Father commands Outstretch a thousand helping hands To those who don't know of His love And let them see the truths we know of I raise up my voice and pray That I can remain strong each day And let all that I do glorify Our Father, his church, and truths I can't deny And may my example prove Strong enough to a straying heart move So that others can find eternal peace And in Our Father's love find their relief In Jesus' name I pray. ~Natelle~ Return
