I Looked Up High (Jodadi Faith Mix)

[Verse 1] There were nights I sat in silence With the weight I couldn’t shake Every road felt like a dead end Every step a risk to take I was carryin’ my family Tryin’ hard to hold it tight With a heart that kept on breakin’ In the middle of the night ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t always understand it Didn’t always see Your plan But right there in the dark Is where You made me who I am ⸻ [Chorus] When I wanted to fall, when I wanted to cry When the world felt heavy and I asked God why I didn’t give up, I didn’t walk away I just lifted my head and I started to pray Yeah through every low, through every goodbye When I couldn’t see, I looked up high And You gave me strength I couldn’t deny Every time… I looked up high ⸻ [Verse 2] I remember all the pressure All the things I couldn’t fix All the dreams that felt like failure All the weight that didn’t lift But You never left me stranded Even when I lost my way Every lesson in the struggle Brought me closer to Your grace ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Now I see it a little clearer Why I had to walk that road Every burden that You gave me Built a strength I didn’t know ⸻ [Chorus] When I wanted to fall, when I wanted to cry When the world felt heavy and I asked God why I didn’t give up, I didn’t walk away I just lifted my head and I started to pray Yeah through every low, through every goodbye When I couldn’t see, I looked up high And You gave me strength I couldn’t deny Every time… I looked up high ⸻ [Bridge] (strip down, almost spoken) I ain’t sayin’ it was easy I ain’t sayin’ I was strong But every time I felt like breakin’ You were there all along So I thank You for the valleys And the roads I didn’t choose ‘Cause they led me to the man With a faith I couldn’t lose ⸻ [Final Chorus – fuller, subtle choir layer optional] Now when I feel weak, I don’t question why I just close my eyes and I look up high Ain’t no fear left holdin’ me down ‘Cause I know You’re with me now Yeah through every low, through every goodbye You were right there by my side And the man that I am, I owe it all To every time… I looked up high
