I gotta try to do right when life's doing me wrong

Gotta shake the dust off my feet and keep marchin' on

When trouble weighs me down, brings me to my knees

Lord, my needs are many, but that's a pretty

Yeah, a pretty good place to be



Don't blame it on the preacher 'cause the preacher done told

"The devil's got a target on my heart and my soul"

But let me tell you, brother, what the devil don't know

The lower I go, the more I'm gonna lift you



Higher (higher) higher (higher) higher

I'm gonna lift you higher (higher) higher (higher) higher

God Almighty, you are worthy

Higher (higher) higher (higher) higher



I may never get money, I may never have fame

But if I'm ever in the spotlight, I'll point it back your way

'Cause standing at the top was never-ever my goal

But if you put me on a mountain then I'll tell the whole world

Singing hallelujah 'til I hit the dirt, oh



I'm gonna lift you higher (higher) higher (higher) higher

I'm gonna lift you higher (higher) higher (higher) higher

God Almighty, you are worthy

Higher, higher, higher



Hallelujah, He is worthy

Hallelujah, He is good

Leave me in rags and ruins and I'll praise You through it

Clothe me in glory and riches, I'll praise You just the same

All that I have, all I've been given, all of my life's ambition

Is to worship, is to honor, is to bring You praise



I'm gonna lift you higher, higher, higher

I'm gonna lift you higher, higher, higher

God Almighty, you are worthy

Higher, higher, higher



God Almighty, you are worthy
