Like a full force gale I was lifted up again I was lifted up again by the Lord And no matter where I roam I will find my way back home I will always return to the Lord In the gentle evening breeze By the whispering shady trees I will find my sanctuary in the Lord I was headed for a fall The I looked up and saw the writing on the wall Like a full force gale I was lifted up again I was lifted up again by the Lord I was headed for a fall The I looked up and saw the writing on the wall In the gentle evening breeze By the whispering shady trees I will find my sanctuary in the Lord And no matter where I roam I will find my way back home I will always return to the Lord Like a full force gale I was lifted up again I was lifted up again by the Lord
