Lyrics
Higher and Higher
Verse 1:
When the barren dances with joy,
Holding her firstborn through tears of joy.
When the broken leap in praise,
As the good news fills their humble hearts.
When the sun rises in the morning,
Proclaiming Your glory, O Mighty One,
I will rise with joy, for Your love sustains my soul.
Chorus:
We give glory to the Father above,
We sing His praise--our hope, our love.
I give it all to the Lord of Hosts,
Who took my place upon the Cross.
We lift our hands to the King of kings,
Our voices rise as freedom rings.
I bow in awe before His throne--
He made my weary heart His home.
Verse 2:
Who is like the Lord--humble and kind?
He came down low to save us all.
Who is like our Lord, so mighty in battle?
A Father to the lost, a shield for the weak.
Who compares to the Lord--so gentle, so true?
He stepped down in love to make all things new.
Who is like our King, the bringer of peace?
Defender of the weak, our light that won't cease. *Chorus*
Bridge:
Higher! We lift His name higher--
Our Holy Father, the Light and Truth.
Yes, higher! Lift His name higher--
Our Holy Father, our joy and hope. (2x) *Chorus*
