Words and music by Bob Hartman 

Based on John 12:32, 3:14, Luke 19:2-4



The world is looking for a revelation 

We're always under their investigation 

They look at us to hear we got to say 

They can't see Jesus when we stand in the way 

They don't need no more eleveated speeches 

We're keeping Jesus just beyond their reaches 

Can't see the forest for all of the trees 

They won't see Jesus till we fall on our knees 



(Chorus) 

Lift Him up higher and higher 

Lift Him up set the world on fire 

It doesn't take much theology 

Just lift Him up so the world can see 

Lift Him up tell the gospel story 

Lift Him up left them see His glory 

It doesn't take any Bible degree 

Just lift Him up so the world can see 



Sometimes they just can't see beyond the haze 

Or find their way through the religious maze 

Just like Zaccheus they're trying to see 

They got to somehow see beyond you and me 



Oh - how the world needs to see him 

So they can believe Him 

Oh - how can we ever hide Him 

As if we had denied Him 

Oh - How could He ever draw them 

If they never saw Him 

Oh - How can they see His glory 

Without you and me
