Lift Him up (lift Him) higher, lift Him up high
Lift Him up (lift Him) higher, lift Him up high
Lift Him up (lift Him) higher, lift Him up high

Lift Him up (lift Him) higher, lift Him up high

The world is looking for a revelation

We're always under their investigation
They look at us to hear what we've got to say
They can't see Jesus when we stand in the way, no


They don't need no more elevated speeches
We're keeping Jesus just beyond their reaches

Can't see the forest for all of the trees
They won't see Jesus 'til we fall to our knees


Chorus 1:
Lift Him up (higher) higher and higher
Lift Him up (higher) set the world on fire

It doesn't take much theology
Just lift Him up so the world can see
Lift Him up (higher) tell the Gospel story

Lift Him up (higher) they got to see His glory
It doesn't take some kind of Bible degree
Just lift Him up so the world can see


(Interlude)


Sometimes they just can't see beyond the haze
Or find their way through the religious maze
Just like Zacchaeus they're trying to see

They've got to somehow see beyond you and me, oh

Repeat Chorus 1


You know the world has got to know Him
So they can believe Him

How could we ever try to hide Him
As if we had denied Him
How can the Lord ever tell them

If I never saw Him
How will they ever see His glory
Without you and me, yeah


Chorus 2:
Lift Him up (lift Him up higher) higher and higher

Lift Him up (lift Him up higher) set the world on fire
It doesn't take much theology
Just lift Him up so the world can see

Lift Him up (lift Him up higher) tell the Gospel story
Lift Him up (lift Him up higher) they got to His glory
It doesn't take any Bible degree

Just lift Him up so the world can see
