1 Verse:
In loving-kindness Jesus came
My soul in mercy to reclaim.
And from the depths of sin and shame
Through 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,
Oh, praise His name, He lifted me!
2 Verse:
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.
3 Verse:
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.
4 Verse:
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.
