Lord, I Lift Your Name On High!
LORD, I LIFT YOUR NAME ON HIGH!
LORD, I LOVE TO SING YOUR PRAISES!
I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE IN MY LIFE;
I’M SO GLAD YOU CAME TO SAVE US!
YOU CAME FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH
TO SHOW THE WAY;
FROM THE EARTH TO THE CROSS
MY DEBT TO PAY!
FROM THE CROSS TO THE GRAVE,
FROM THE GRAVE TO THE SKY;
LORD, I LIFT YOUR NAME ON HIGH!
Psa 61:1...Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
Psa 61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Isa 32:1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
Isa 32:2 And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

Oh! sometimes the shadows are deep,
And rough seems the path to the goal,
And sorrows, sometimes how they sweep
Like tempests down over the soul.
Refrain
O then to the Rock let me fly
To the Rock that is higher than I
O then to the Rock let me fly
To the Rock that is higher than I!
Oh! sometimes how long seems the day,
And sometimes how weary my feet!
But toiling in life’s dusty way,
The Rock’s blessèd shadow, how sweet!
Refrain
Then near to the Rock let me keep
If blessings or sorrows prevail,
Or climbing the mountain way steep,
Or walking the shadowy vale.
