about

This song was written as a high school senior about to head out into the world on my own.

lyrics

On a lonely dusty road
With nowhere else to go
Searching for just who I am
And the right path to follow
Can I find maturity?
Or is it just a gift that comes with time?

Leaving the days of youth behind
Lord, I’m gonna give my life to You

Take me as I am
Take me by the hand
And call me higher
ELEVATE me

Giving it all to You
Gonna need Your help, now
To pull me through
I’m your child, Lord
So just take me by the hand
And lead me to the Promised Land

Leaving the days of youth behind
Lord, I’m gonna give my life to You

Take me as I am
Take me by the hand
And call me higher
Giving it all to You
I know your gonna pull me through
And call me higher
ELEVATE me

And on that lonely dusty road
I choose the path that’s straight and narrow
I’m not looking for the glory, Lord
I just want others to see You in me
You in me…

ELEVATE me
To ELEVATE You
Lord, I praise You
ELEVATE You
