Lyrics
He Lifted Me Up
With everlasting loving kindness and a merciful hand
From the darkness of deep waters to this rock where I stand
Jesus, in compassion, reached down and rescued my soul
He lifted me up and I saw the light
Sweet Jesus calmed the ragging water
Sweet Jesus calmed the ragging sea
Sweet Jesus saw that I was sinking low
Jesus rescued me
Sweet Jesus walked upon the water
Sweet Jesus defeated death at Calvary
Sweet Jesus was crucified then arose again
Jesus rescued me
He lifted me up out of the water
He lifted me up out of an early grave
He lifted me up over his knee when I would misbehave
He lifted me up over the mountain
He lifted me up into the starry skies
He lifted me up over the darkness into God?s light
He lifted me up and I saw the light
Sweet Jesus crucified at Calvary
Sweet Jesus gave his life for you and me
Sweet Jesus at the right hand of the father
Waits to welcome me
Chorus
He lifted me up and I saw a glimpse of the glory
He lifted me up and I saw a glimpse of the son
By the blood of Jesus I am saved
Old ways made new by amazing grace
Chorus
