87. He Lifted Me

1 Without hope or God I was down in sin,
Drifting farther on in misery;
Jesus spoke, I heard and accepted Him,
Praise Him matchless name, He lifted me.

Refrain:
He lifted me, He lifted me
From sin and set me free;
The blessed Son, the Son of God
Reached down and lifted me.

2 Now the light shines in where there once was sin,
And the heav'nly home-path I can see;
Blessed promise, I have the hope within,
Of that home, since Jesus lifted me. [Refrain]

3 I rejoice and sing, daily foll'wing Him,
Since He saved me and the light I see;
Wash'd and made anew, cleans'd from ev'ry stain,
I'm so glad my Saviour lifted me [Refrain]
