( Spiritual )
(music by Teresa O’Connell)

<Intro>
1
I was Driftin' my Lord, driftin' from shore,
I was Floatin' away from Him I adore.
I was Slippin' O God, I was slippin' as well,
I was Slidin' dear Savior, I was slidin' to Hell.

2
Repentin' my greed, Lord, repentin' my lust;
Relyin' my God, in Thy trust.
He'll be Showin' the Way, the Way known to Him,
While I'm Hidin' my soul from sin dark and grim.

3
Rejectin' my life, Lord, rejectin' my pride
I'm Acceptin' His truth, and acceptin' His side.
Won't be Cryin' no more, no more cryin' for shame,
I'll be Smilin' once more, I'll be smilin' again.

<Refrain>
My soul is soarin’
Soarin’ my Lord.
My soul is soarin’
Soarin’ my Lord.
My soul is soarin’
Soarin’ my Lord.
My soul is soarin’
Soarin’ my Lord.

4
Won't be Ailin'in heart, won't be ailin' with pain,
He's Healin' my spirit, with healin' I'll gain.
I'm Hearin' the trumpet, I’m hearin' the horn,
Time for Seein' the light, for bein' reborn.

5
I'll be Crawlin', I will, 'til He shows me the way;
Keep me Movin' straight on, yes I’m movin' I say.
Must be Walkin' the path, be a'walkin' from sin,
I'll be Runnin' the course, yes, I’m runnin' to win.

6
Sayin' my prayers, speakin' no blame,
I'll be Singin' His praises and singin' His Name.
Leapin' towards Love, and then leapin' to Grace;
To life everlastin' in His embrace.

<Refrain>
My soul is soarin’
Soarin’ my Lord.
My soul is soarin’
Soarin’ my Lord.
My soul is soarin’
Soarin’ my Lord.
My soul is soarin’
Soarin’ my Lord.

(clap on second & fourth beat)
My soul is soarin’
Soarin’ my Lord.
My soul is soarin’
Soarin’ my Lord.
My soul is soarin’
Soarin’ my Lord.
My soul is soarin’
Soarin’ my Lord.
(end clapping)

My soul is soarin’
Higher
Higher my Lord!
