(Gb)Sin and its ways grow to old,

(Abm)all of my heart turns to (Db)stone.

And I’m (Bbm)left with no strength to a rise,

I (Db)need to be lift ed high.

(Gb)Sin and its ways lead to pain,

(Abm)left here with hurt and to (Db)shame.

So no (Bbm)long er will I leave Your side,

I (Db)need to be lift ed high.

Je sus, (Db)You be lift ed high.

(Cb)You be lift ed high,

(Cb)You be lift ed high,

(Abm)You be lift ed high in my life, oh God.

And I (Abm)fall to my knees so it’s You that they see, not I,

Je sus, (Db)You be lift ed high.

And e ven (Gb)now that I’m in side Your hands,

how help me (Abm)not to grow pride ful a gain.

Don’t You (Bbm)let me for sake sac ri fice,

Je sus, (Db)You be lift ed high.

And if I’m (Gb)blessed with the rich es of kings

how could I (Abm)e ver think that it was me?

For You (Bbm)brought me from dark ness to light,

Je sus, (Db)You be lift ed high.

And if I’m
