I've been in the lowest valleys, I've been in the deepest pit
I forgot the high of worship till You got me out again
I jumped into the ocean, it was easy getting down
But getting up was different, I started to drown
I love the ease of descent, but getting back up brings me pain
When the pressure works against you, it's hard to ease the shame
I love getting out of my own abyss
But it's hard when I bear it on my own

Shout out to the Lord and you will find
All these thoughts can be left behind
Choose His way and you will find
That He can take you higher
Shout out to the Lord and you will find
All these thoughts can be left behind
Choose His way and you will find
That He can take you higher

He will take you higher
He will take you higher
He will start a fire
Give control, He will take you higher
He will take you higher
He will take you higher
He will start a fire
Give control, He will take you higher

I've been down some days now
Trying to find a way out
That's why I'm trying to pray now
Cause I'm really trying to break out
This cage I'm stuck in
This pit I jumped in
This King I want him
But think I'm unwanted
Why'd he do it? I'm unsure of it
I don't really know where He saw the worth of it
But He took one look at me and said that in His eyes, I am perfect
Wait, look, here's the new goal
Be close to the one who made my soul
All other highs will let you down
Cause they all leave you in control
On my way to the top of the world
I'm living my life as a prince
Look, my faith will never fold
It's never been the same since I called out to my King
My King called out to me
"My son, you were called to call out to me"

He will take you higher
He will take you higher
He will start a fire
Give control, He will take you higher
He will take you higher
He will take you higher
He will start a fire
Give control, He will take you higher
