I've Been Lifted

Author: James Rowe Hymnal: Great Revival Hymns No. 2 #55 (1913) First Line: I was sunk in sin, despairing Refrain First Line: I've been lifted, thanks to Jesus Lyrics: 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [I was sunk in sin, despairing]
