Lyrics

Full Force Gale

[Chorus]

Like a full force gale

I was lifted up again

I was lifted up again by the Lord

[Verse 1]

No matter where I roam

I will find my way back home

I will always return to the Lord

[Verse 2]

In the gentle evening breeze

By the whispering shady trees

I will find my sanctuary in the Lord

[Bridge]

I was headed for a fall

Then I saw the writing on the wall

[Chorus]

Like a full force gale

I was lifted up again

I was lifted up again by the Lord

[Bridge]

I was headed for a fall

Then I looked up and saw the writing on the wall

[Verse 2]

In the gentle evening breeze

By the whispering shady trees

I will find my sanctuary in the Lord

[Verse 1]

And no matter where I roam

I will find my way back home

I will always return to the Lord (Like a full force)

[Chorus]

Like a full force gale

I was lifted up again

I was lifted up again by the Lord

Like a full force gale (I was lifted up again, lifted up)

I was lifted up again (I said I was lifted up)

I was lifted up again by the Lord

Like a full force gale (Lifted up again)

I was lifted up again (Lifted up again)

I was lifted up again by the Lord
