Lavishly our lives are wasted
Humbleness is left untasted
You can't live your life to please yourself (yeah)
That's a tip from my mistakes

Exactly what it doesn't take
To win you've got to come in last place (yeah)
To live your life you've got to lose it
And all the losers get a crown

CHORUS
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down

All I need's another day
Where I can't seem to get away
From some the many things that drag me down (yeah)
I'm sure you've had a day like me
Where nothing seems to set you free
From all the burdens you can't carry all alone

In your weakness He is stronger
In your darkness He shines through
When you're crying He's your comfort
When you're all alone, He's carrying you

CHORUS 2X (Lalalalala in backround second time)
Everytime I'm down the Lord lifts me up (yeah)

This valley is so deep
I can barely see the sun (come on y'all)
I cry out for mercy, Lord
You lift me up again

REPEAT CHORUS
Everytime I'm down the Lord lifts me up
