Lyrics Michael W. Smith

Michael W. Smith

Be Lifted High

Sin and it's ways grow old

All of my heart turns to stone

And I'm left with no strength to arise

I ain't need to be lifted high

Sin and it's 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 feel 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 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
