[Verse 1]
I was lost in the valley
Down in the dark
(Oo-yeah!) Felt the chains
Heavy on my heart
Trouble on my back
Couldn’t find no peace
But You broke them shackles
Gave my soul release
[Prechorus]
Now I see the light
Shining from above
(Oh, glory!) Wrapped in mercy
Covered in love
[Chorus]
Lift me higher
Jesus
Higher!
(Oo, higher, Lord!) Take me out that mire
Set my soul on fire!
Lift me higher
Jesus
Higher!
(Oo, yeah!) You’re the way
The truth
The one I desire
[Verse 2]
I was walking through the storm
The thunder rolled
(Oo-yeah!) My spirit weak
My body cold
You stretched out Your hand
Said
“Come on through
”
Oh
Sweet Jesus
I owe it all to You!
[Bridge]
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!)
Sing it loud
Sing it true
Yeah!
(He’s the rock!) He’s the rock that won’t let go
(He’s the fire!) Burning bright in my soul
[Chorus]
Lift me higher
Jesus
Higher!
(Oo, higher, Lord!) Take me out that mire
Set my soul on fire!
Lift me higher
Jesus
Higher!
(Oo, yeah!) You’re the way
The truth
The one I desire
