Lyrics
(Intro)
1
I was Driftin' my Lord, driftin' from shore,
I was Floatin' away from Him I adore.
I was Slippin' O God, I was slippin' as well,
I was Slidin' dear Savior, I was slidin' to Hell.
2
Repentin' my greed, Lord, repentin' my lust;
Relyin' my God, in Thy trust.
He'll be Showin' the Way, the Way known to Him,
While I'm Hidin' my soul from sin dark and grim.
3
Rejectin' my life, Lord, rejectin' my pride
I'm Acceptin' His truth, and acceptin' His side.
Won't be Cryin' no more, no more cryin' for shame,
I'll be Smilin' once more, I'll be smilin' again.
4
Won't be Ailin' in heart, won't be ailin' with pain,
He's Healin' my spirit, with healin' I'll gain.
I'm Hearin' the trumpet, Im hearin' the horn,
Time for Seein' the light, for bein' reborn.
5
I'll be Crawlin', I will, till He shows me the way;
Keep me Movin' straight on, yes Im movin' I say.
Must be Walkin' the path, be awalkin' from sin,
I'll be Runnin' the course, yes, Im runnin' to win.
6
Sayin' my prayers, speakin' no blame,
I'll be Singin' His praises and singin' His Name.
Leapin' towards Love, and then leapin' to Grace;
To life everlastin' in His embrace.
Refrain
My soul is soarin
Soarin my Lord.
My soul is soarin
Soarin my Lord.
My soul is soarin
Soarin my Lord.
My soul is soarin
Soarin my Lord.
(clap on second & fourth beat)
My soul is soarin
Soarin my Lord.
My soul is soarin
Soarin my Lord.
My soul is soarin
Soarin my Lord.
My soul is soarin
Soarin my Lord.
(end clapping)
My soul is soarin Higher
Higher my Lord!
