He Lifted Me Lyrics & Chords

By Charles Hutchinson Gabriel

(D)In loving-kindness Jesus (G)came,

My (A)soul in mercy (D)to reclaim,

And (D)from the depths of sin and (G)shame

Through (E)grace He lifted (A)me. 



Chorus

From (D)sinking sand He (A)lifted me,

With (A)tender hand He (D)lifted me;

From (D)shades of night to (G)plains of light,

Oh, praise His (D)Name, He (A)lifted (D)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. 



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. 



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.
