Misc Praise Songs – He Lifted Me (Guitar)

G                        C
In loving-kindness Jesus came,

   D             G
My soul in mercy to reclaim,

    G                          C
And from the depths of sin and shame

        Am              D
Through grace He lifted me.

     G               D
From sinking sand He lifted me,

     D              G
With tender hand He lifted me;

     G                  C
From shades of night to plains of light,

               G        D      G
Oh, praise His Name, He lifted me!

G                        C
He called me long before I heard,

   D             G
Before my sinful heart was stirred,

    G                          C
But when I took Him at His word,

        Am              D
Forgiv’n, He lifted me.

G                        C
His brow was pierced with many a thorn,

   D             G
His hands by cruel nails were torn,

    G                          C
When from my guilt and grief, forlorn,

        Am              D
In love He lifted me.

G                        C
Now on higher plane I dwell,

   D             G
And with my soul I know ’tis well;

    G                          C
Yet how or why, I cannot tell,

        Am              D
He should have lifted me.
