He Lifted Me

Verse 1
In loving kindness Jesus came
My soul in mercy to reclaim
And from the depths of sin and shame
Thro' grace He lifted me

Chorus
From sinking sand He lifted me
With tender hand He lifted me
From shades of night to plains of light

Verse 2
Oh 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

Verse 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

Verse 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
