If I Be Lifted Up

Down in the valley while on my knees

I asked my Jesus help me please

He promised that he'd take care of me

If I would lift Him up.



He said if I be lifted up

He said if I be lifted up

I 'll be your father, I'll be your mother

I'll be your sister And your brother.

He said if I be lifted up

I'll bring joy, joy, joy to your soul.



When I am lonely, when I am sad

My Jesus comes and makes me glad

He is the dearest friend I've had

I want to lift Him up.



He said if I be lifted up

He said if I be lifted up

I 'll be your father, I'll be your mother

I'll be your sister and your brother.



He said if I be lifted up

I'll bring joy, joy, joy

To your soul...
