Great Revival Hymns No. 2 ‎#55

55. I've Been Lifted

1 I was sunk in sin, despairing,
For no help I saw around;
But today, no burden bearing,
I am safe on solid ground.

Refrain:
I’ve been lifted, thanks to Jesus,
I’ve been lifted out of shame;
By His boundless grace and mercy,
I’ve been lifted, praise His name.

2 Tongue can never tell the sadness
Of a sinner’s burdened heart;
Tongue can never tell the gladness,
That the Saviour can impart. [Refrain]

3 I have left the lowlands dreary,
Plains of light today are mine;
And my soul will never weary
Of proclaiming grace divine. [Refrain]
