He Lifted Me

by Jim Spencer Music

supported by

Elisa Rizzolo This song was on my father's favorite music list when I opened his packet entitled "In the event of my death" - this was played along with beautiful pictures of his journey on Mt. Rainier at his memorial service August 8. Thank you for this reiteration, it is absolutely beautiful and very powerful. God bless you.

Words by Charles H. Gabriel (1856-1932)
Music by Jim Spencer

lyrics

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 sands He lifted me
With tender hand He lifted me
From shades of night to plains of light
O praise His name, He lifted 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
(Chorus)

His brow was pierced with many thorns
His hands by cruel nails were torn
When from my guilt and grief forlorn
In love He lifted me
(Chorus 2x)

-Tag -
O praise His name, He lifted me!
