In lovingkindness Jesus came
My soul in mercy to reclaim
And from the depths of sin and shame
Through grace He lifted me.
From sinking sand He lifted me
With tender hand He lifted me
From shades of night to plains of light
O praise His name
He lifted me!
He called me long before I heard
Before my sinful heart was stirred
But when I took Him at His word
Forgiv’n
He lifted me.
His brow was pierced with many a thorn
His hands by cruel nails were torn
When from my guilt and grief
forlorn
In love He lifted me.
Now on a higher plane I dwell
And with my soul I know ’tis well;
Yet how or why I cannot tell
He should have lifted me.
