Psalm 3 – You Lift My Head
[Verse 1 — softly spoken]
The night has gathered voices,
saying hope has passed me by.
Yet You remain around me,
like a shield beneath the sky.
[Response — lightly sung]
You lift my head,
You lift my head.
I lie down afraid,
but I rise in Your peace.
[Verse 2 — softly spoken]
I called into the silence,
and the holy mountain heard.
Morning found me breathing,
still sustained by Your word.
[Response — fuller harmony]
You lift my head,
You lift my head.
Though thousands surround me,
my heart rests in You.
[Bridge — gentle melodic rise]
Deliverance is Yours, O Lord.
Let Your blessing find Your people.
Let Your blessing find us here.
[Final Response — soft, repeated]
You lift my head…
and I rise in Your peace.
Hook Idea
The phrase “You lift my head” rises melodically over Am–G, then settles gently on F–E with “I rise in Your peace.”
