Jan R Johansson - A Better Me Lyrics

When the world has turned me down
In so many ways I almost drowned
I loved and lost
My soul has ached the cost

You raise me up so I can walk on tall
You raise me up for me to see it all
I lay my life in your hands to take control
You give me back my long-lost soul

I travelled the world to many places
Seen so many empty faces
I did not know I was one of those
That I was lost and my heart was closed

You raise me up so I can walk on tall
You raise me up for me to see it all
I lay my life in your hands to take control
You give me back my long-lost soul

I´ve done no good with the time I had
Instead, I wasted it, my life has faded
I weight hard on my mind
How I could have been so blind

You raise me up so I can walk on tall
You raise me up for me to see it all
I lay my life in you hands to take control
You give me back my long-lost soul

Forgive me Jesus
I beg each day to thee
Hoping for a better me
