[Verse 1]
Tammy Wynette & Larry, Steve
[C]& Rudy Gatlin
(Steve Buckingham)
I'm safe 'cause your [G]love lifts [D]me to
[C]a higher ground
(Higher ground)
To a [G]higher ground.

[Verse 2]
Well, [G]I have sat alone at night
And [D]cried myself to [G]sleep
And I have prayed my soul to take
When sor[D]row seems [G]so deep.

[Verse 3]
But [C]darkness turns so quickly
To the light [G]of day
When someone special came along
And [D]carried me [G]away.

[Verse 4]
Chorus: You lift [G]me
up when I get down
When I'm [C]lost you turn me [G]around
Wind and rain can't wash away
The peace you give [D]to me.
And [C]in a sea of trouble

[Verse 5]
[G]
[D]I know that [Em]I won't drown
I'm [C]safe 'cause your [G]love
Lifts [D]me to [C]a higher
ground (higher ground)
To [G]a higher ground.

[Verse 6]
[G]
Troubled times may bring me down
And [D]drive me to [G]my knees
And I am blinded by despair
[D]And cannot see[G].
But [C]you take a hold

[Verse 7]
And carry me [G]again
Then I know I'll never break
[D]Though I sometimes [G]bend.

[Verse 8]
You lift me up when I get [G]down
When I'm [C]lost you turn me [G]around
Wind and rain can't wash away
The peace you give [D]to me.

[Verse 9]
And [C]in a sea [G]of trouble
[D]I know that [Em]I won't drown
I'm [C]safe 'cause [G]your love
Lifts [D]me to [C]a higher
ground (higher ground)
To [G]a higher ground.
[C][G]
