  • As I lay me down
    Heaven, hear me now
    I'm lost without a cause
    After giving it my all
    Winter storms have come
    And darkened my sun
    After all that I've been through
    Who on earth can I turn to?

    I look to You
    I look to You
    After all my strength is gone
    In You, I can be strong
    I look to You
    I look to You, yeah
    And when melodies are gone
    In You, I hear a song
    I look to You

    About to lose my breath
    There's no more fighting left
    Sinking to rise no more
    Searching for that open door
    And every road that I've taken, mm
    Led to my regret
    And I don't know if I'm gon' make it
    Nothing to do but lift my head

    I look to You
    I look to You, yeah
    And when all my strength is gone
    In You, I can be strong
    I look to You
    I look to You, oh yeah
    And when melodies are gone
    In You, I hear a song
    I look to You

    My levees are broken (oh Lord)
    My walls have come (coming down on me)
    They're crumbling down on me (all the rain is falling)
    The rain is falling (woo)
    Defeat is calling (set me free)
    I need You to set me free
    Take me far away from the battle
    I need You
    Shine on me

    I look to You
    I look to You
    After all my strength is gone
    In You, I can be strong
    I look to You
    I look to You, yeah
    And when melodies are gone
    In You, I hear a song
    I look to You, yeah

    I look to You, ooh

  • Dee from NigeriaWould have loved to meet you if you were still alive but you left early enough. None to fill the space yet. A hero even in death. Rest on The Voice.
  • Douglas from KenyaSong was playing on TV immediately after receiving news of the death of my biological father, who raised me since I been a child. I will never forget that moment
  • Dunny from Nigeria This was a revelation of the end but nobody saw it coming. Whitney continue to rest on.
  • Just Another Houston Fan from London, EnglandIsn't that the point though? It's a message of hope by looking to a higher being after year's of turmoil resulting from drug abuse which has taken its toll! I think the imperfections in her voice speak volumes and give this track real meaning.
  • Fine Brown Sugar from Kansas City, Mothis is a uplifting song but not her best
