          G                       C
Whenever God shines his light on me
            D             G
Open up my eyes so I can see
            G                  C
When I look up in the darkest night
              D                    G
I know everything's going to be alright

In deep confusion, in great despair
When I reach out for Him He is there
When I am lonely as I can be
And I know that God shines His light on me

Chorus:
               Em
Reach out for him (reach out for him)
          Bm
He'll be there (he'll be there)
               Am
With him your troubles (with him your troubles)
C         G
You can share (you can share)
        Em
If you live (if you live)
             Bm
the life you love (the life you love)
             Am      C      G
You get the blessing from above (from above)

Heals the sick and He heals the lame
Says you can do it too in Jesus' name
He'll lift you up and He'll turn you around
And put your feet back (Put your feet back) on
higher ground

Chorus:
Reach out for Him (Reach out for Him)
He'll be there (He'll be there)
With Him your troubles (With Him your troubles)
You can share (You can share)
Oh you can use His higher power
Every day (Every day) and any hour (Any hour)

Heals the sick and He heals the lame
And He says you can heal it too in Jesus' name
He lifts you up and He turns you around
Puts your feet back (Put your feet back)
On higher ground (On higher ground)

Yeah, when He shines His light
Whenever God shines His light on you, on you
He is the way, He is the truth,
He is the light, ooh
Put your feet back,
put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back, higher ground
Put your feet back,
put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back,
put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back, ooh on higher ground
Put your feet back,
put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back,
put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back,
put your feet on higher ground
Put your feet back,
put your feet back on higher ground
Put your feet back
Back
