Be Lifted High

Michael W. Smith · Stand [2006]

Sin and its ways grow old

All of my heart turns to stone

And I'm left with no strength to arise

how you need to be lifted high



Sin and its ways lead to pain

Left here with hurt and with shame

So no longer will I leave your side

Jesus, you'll be lifted high



You'll be lifted high

You'll be lifted high

You'll be lifted high in my life

Oh God

And I fall to my knees

So it's you that they see

Not I

Jesus, you'll be lifted high



And even now that I'm inside your hands

Help me not to grow prideful again

Don't let me forsake sacrifice

Jesus you'll be lifted high



And if I'm blessed with the riches of kings

How could I ever think that it was me

For you brought me from darkness to light

Jesus, you'll be lifted high



You'll be lifted high

You'll be lifted high

You'll be lifted high in my life

Oh God

And I fall to my knees

So it's you that they see

Not I

Jesus, you'll be lifted high



Oh Jesus, you'll be lifted high

Oh you'll be lifted high

And I fall to my knees

So it's you that they see

Not I

Jesus, you'll be lifted high

Yeah yeah
