He Lifted Me

Description

The doctrine of election, though misunderstood by many, is one of the most precious truths that we can sing about. Our Lord called us long before we heard - before our heart was warmed even slightly to the things of God. May we celebrate the fact that God lifted us according to the kind intention of His will (Ephesians 1:5). Truly we were dead in our trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1) and needed God to lift us from our hopeless condition.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
In loving-kindness Jesus came
My soul in mercy to reclaim;
And from the depths of sin and shame
By grace He lifted me.

Chorus:
From sinking sand He lifted me,
With tender hand He lifted me;
From deepest night to glorious light,
O, praise His name, He lifted me!

Verse 2:
He called me long before I heard,
Before my sinful heart was stirred;
But when I took Him at His word,
Forgiven, He lifted me.

Verse 3:
Now on a nobler plane I dwell,
And with my soul I know it's well;
Yet how or why I cannot tell,
He should have lifted me.
