He Lifts the Lowly

[Verse 1]
I see the tired eyes
Hiding in the back row
Hands in the pockets
Heart saying "I won't go"
But You see a child
Not a lost cause
You call them by name
You break those chains off
[Chorus]
He lifts the lowly
Heals the broken
Turns every lie that was spoken
Into a story of mercy and freedom
We know the enemy's beaten
So in the darkness
When fear is loudest
We speak Jesus over the hardest
Every heart that thinks it's too far gone
You see them
You redeem them
You hold on
[Verse 2]
I see the one who thinks they're past forgiving
Drowning in secrets
Tired of living
But You walk the alleys
Sit on the floor
You carry the shame they can't carry anymore
[Chorus]
He lifts the lowly
Heals the broken
Turns every lie that was spoken
Into a story of mercy and freedom
We know the enemy's beaten
So in the darkness
When fear is loudest
We speak Jesus over the hardest
Every heart that thinks it's too far gone
You see them
You redeem them
You hold on
[Bridge]
Over the addict
Over the orphan (Jesus)
Over the anxious
Over the hurting (Jesus)
Over the lonely
Over the shamed (Jesus)
Every hidden
Hurting name (Jesus)
[Chorus]
He lifts the lowly
Heals the broken
Turns every lie that was spoken
Into a story of mercy and freedom
We know the enemy's beaten
So in the darkness
When fear is loudest
We speak Jesus over the hardest
Every heart that thinks it's too far gone
You see them
You redeem them
You hold on (Jesus)

Warm modern worship ballad, mid-tempo groove with piano and airy pads, subtle electric guitar swells. Male or female vocals in an intimate, earnest tone that grows into a big, sing-along chorus with stacked harmonies. Kick and toms build through the second half; light choir textures in the final chorus for a spacious, hope-filled finish.
