He Lifted Me
F
In loving kindness Jesus came
C7 F
My soul in mercy to reclaim
Bb
And from the depths of sin and shame
G7 C7
Through grace and sin He lifted me
Chorus:
F C7
From sinking sand, He lifted me
F
With tender hand, He lifted me
F7 Bb Bbm
From shades of night to plains of light
F C7 F
Oh, praise His name; He lifted me
He called me long before I heard
Before my sinful heart was stirred
But when I took Him at His word
Forgiven, He lifted me
His brow was pierced with many a thorn
His hands by cruel nails were torn
When from my guilt and grief, forlorn
In love He lifted me
Now on a higher plane I dwell
And with my soul I know ‘tis well
Yet how or why, I cannot tell
He should have lifted me
