Text: | He Lifted Me |
Author: | Charles H. Gabriel, 1856-1932 |
Tune: | [In loving kindness Jesus came] |
Composer: | Charles H. Gabriel, 1856-1932 |
1 In lovingkindness Jesus came
My soul in mercy to reclaim,
And from the depths of sin and shame
Thro' grace He lifted me.
Refrain:
From sinking sand He lifted me,
With tender hand He lifted me,
From shades of night to plains of light,
Oh, praise His name, He lifted me!
2 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. (Refrain)
3 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. (Refrain)
4 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. (Refrain)
