Written by Leroy Williams
recorded by Dallas Fort Worth Mass Choir
Tenors - He's my bread whenever I'm hungry
He's my friend whenever I'm lonely
Altos - He is my water in dry places
He's a smile on unfriendly faces
Sopranos- He is my comfort in times of sorrow
He's my hope for every tomorrow
Lift - When I am sad He tells me that I'm His own
That is why I praise Him and Him alone
Chorus
Choir - He is my up
Lead - When my head is hanging low
Choir - He is my up
Lead - When I don't have a place to go
Choir - He is my up
Lead - When that old devil tries to keep me down
Choir - He is my up
Lead - When it seems I'm level to the ground
Choir - He is my up when I'm down
Lead - He gives me strength when I'm feeling weak
He's always there to make my joy complete
And when all of my friends are gone
I can count on Jesus, I can count on Him alone
Lift - He moves dark clouds and brings me sunshine
In confusion He gives me peace of mind
Out of all the things that He has done
I can thank Him for all of them in one
Chorus 2
Choir - He is my up
Lead - When all of my inspiration is gone
Choir - He is my up
When it seems I'm standing all alone
Choir - He is my up
When church folks don't understand
Choir - He is my up when I'm down
He is my up (Repeat)
Lead - When I think of all He's done for me
He loosed my shackles and He set me free
I will never be able to thank Him enough
When I was sinking in sin He raised me up
He is my up when I'm down
