He Lifted Me Out Lyrics & Chords

By Lawrence E. Brooks

Verse 1

(G)I was out on the broad way of (C)sin and despair, 

(D)Crushed beneath my burden of sorrow and (G)care; 

My constant companions were trouble and (C)doubt, 

Till Jesus0 reached (G)down and (D)lifted me (G)out. 



Chorus

(G)He lifted me out of the (C)deep miry clay; 

He (D)settled my feet in the straight, narrow (G)way; 

He lifted me up to a heavenly (C)place, 

And floodeth my (G)soul each (D)day with His (G)grace. 



Verse 2

I was wandering afar from my Saviour and home, 

Fainting and weary in sin did I roam; 

I needed a hand to turn me about, 

Then Jesus reached down and lifted me out. 



Verse 3

I was building my home on the dry shifting sand, 

Casting my lot in a cold barren land; 

You're doomed now for aye I heard Satan shout; 

But Jesus reached down and lifted me out. 



Verse 4

I have started for heaven my heart filled with song 

Wandering is over my sins all are gone; 

Through Jesus' own blood cleansed within and without 

O praise His dear name He lifted me out.
