Lift Him Up

(album: Surrender - 1983)

I have lived in life's darkest castles
Bound by chains of my own design
Every path that I tried to flee from
Led me back to the dungeon's grime

Only Jesus could see my heartache
In the darkness he met me there
And broke the bars of my ancient prison
Free forever in Jesus' care

Sound the trumpet
Our way's been made
Tell the children our price is paid

Lift Him up a little bit higher
We can't hide the love of Jesus
Burn it across our hearts with fire
Until they all believe us
Over the maddening noise there must be
Heavenly music from His score
How can the lost find hope unless we
Lift Him up a little bit more

Oh, the gentle and loving Lord
Who lifted me from my endless night
Prepares a feast for His wayward children
Jesus calling for you and I

Lift the name of our Lord and King
Let our praises forever ring

Lift Him up a little bit higher
We can't hide the love of Jesus
Burn it across our hearts with fire
Until they all believe us
Over the maddening noise there must be
Heavenly music from His score
How can the lost find hope unless we
Lift Him up a little bit more

Lift Him up a little bit higher
We can't hide the love of Jesus
Burn it across our hearts with fire
Until they all believe us
Over the maddening noise there must be
Heavenly music from His score
How can the lost find hope unless we
Lift Him up a little bit more

Lift Him up a little bit higher
(Just a little higher)
Lift Him up a little bit higher
(Just a little higher)

Lift Him up a little bit higher
(Just a little higher)
Lift Him up
Lift Him up a little bit higher
(Just a little higher)
We must lift Him higher

Lift Him up a little bit higher
(Just a little higher)
Lift Him higher
Lift Him up a little bit higher
(Just a little higher...)
