about

LJ runs into the gospel church in the middle of choir rehearsal looking for help to find his teacher NOAH. SISTER WILKINS and the choir sing a song to lift his spirits.

lyrics

Raise Your Eyes to Glory

SISTER WILKINS: WOKE UP IN THE MORNING
SKY WAS DIRTY GRAY
LOOKING AT A DREARY WORLD
THINKING OF A BETTER DAY

I WENT OUTSIDE
TO RUN MY LONELY RACE
CLOUDS PART ABOVE MY HEAD
LIGHT SHINING IN MY FACE

I RAISE MY EYES TO GLORY
THERE’S NOTHING THAT I CAN’T DO
RAISE YOUR EYES TO GLORY
AND YOU’LL RAISE YOUR SPIRIT TOO

LJ: GOT MYSELF IN A FIX TODAY,
THINK I’LL NEVER GET OUT.

BROTHER JAMES: PUT IT IN GOD’S HANDS AND PRAY
MAKES YOU WANT TO SING AND SHOUT

BROTHER JAMES: COMING TO A ROAD SOME DAY
EVERYONE WILL TAKE
‘TIL YOU DO YOU’VE GOT SOME TIME
LIVE THE LIFE YOU MAKE

SISTER WILKINS: FORGET ABOUT THE FUTURE
LET IT GO AND LET IT BE
CALLIE: RAISE YOUR EYES TO GLORY
SET YOUR SPIRIT FREE

CHORUS: RAISE YOUR EYES TO GLORY
THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN’T DO
RAISE YOUR EYES TO GLORY

SISTER WILKINS: AND FIND IN YOURSELF
AN ALMIGHTY BEING
THE ONE AND THE ONLY YOU.
