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)

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
