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 be lifted high
|
|
You be lifted high
|
You be lifted high
|
You 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 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 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 be lifted high
|
|
You be lifted high
|
You be lifted high
|
You 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 be lifted high
|
Oh you be lifted high
|
Oh you 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 be lifted high
|

Be Lifted High
