VERSE 1:
What fortune lies beyond the stars
Those dazzling heights too vast to climb
I got so high to fall so far
But I found heaven as love swept low

CHORUS:
My heart beating
My soul breathing
I found my life
When I laid it down

Upward falling
Spirit soaring
I touch the sky
When my knees hit the ground

VERSE 2:
What treasure waits within Your scars
The gift of freedom gold can’t buy
I bought the world and sold my heart
You traded heaven to have me again

BRIDGE:
Find me here at Your feet again
Everything I am
Reaching out I surrender

Come sweep me up in Your love again
And my soul will dance
On the wings of forever

The recording of "Touch The Sky" was a unique and memorable experience for our band. With only one hour left before Mt. Arbel park closed, we quickly set up our equipment and recorded the track high on the mountain, amidst the wind.

Days later, while visiting Masada, we were struck by the realization that the lowest point on Earth, at -424m, was in the area around the Dead Sea. Inspired by this paradox, Joel suggested that we film the first verse of the song from this location, using just a guitar, an iPad, and two microphones connected to a field recorder.

We hope that the visuals and the dichotomy of the locations featured in the video are an inspiration of the upside down Kingdom described by Jesus in Matthew 5.

I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.. Hallelujah

[BeccaTanatswa]

You traded heaven to have me again 🥹. Happy Resurrection Sunday

[ilovegoddoyou]

God is saying to you today, "That closed door was not a rejection, but a redirection to something bigger and better. Don't look back. I have something amazing in your future." Amen.💕

I’ll never forget this song. I was in a very depressing season in my life when I got alone, turned out all of the lights, knelt down, played this song, and truly repented of my shortcomings. The power of God filled that room and Jesus turned my condemnation into conviction as He Spoke, “Get up and sin no more” (John 8:11) ... I want to encourage someone with 2 things:

-Jesus is Stronger than any addiction, opposition, or discouragement you face

-Jesus WANTS to communicate with you. You can “Hit The Sky” by kneeling, pouring out your heart, and calling the Name of Jesus. There is power in His Name!!

What fortune lies beyond the stars?
Those dazzling heights too vast to climb
I got so high to fall so far
But I found heaven as love swept low

My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground

What treasure waits within Your scars?
This gift of freedom gold can't buy
I bought the world and sold my heart
You traded heaven to have me again

My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground

Find me here at Your feet again
Everything I am, reaching out, I surrender
Come sweep me up in Your love again
And my soul will dance on the wings of forever

Find me here at Your feet again
Everything I am, reaching out, I surrender
Come sweep me up in Your love again
And my soul will dance on the wings of forever

My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground

Find me here at Your feet again
Everything I am, reaching out, I surrender
Come sweep me up in Your love again
And my soul will dance on the wings of forever

My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
When I laid it down
When I laid it down

[PeaceIshimwe-qk]

Señor si me alejo de tu camino búscame, que mis labios no dejen de adorarte todos los días que me quedan de vid
