Petra - Lift Him Up lyrics

Words and music by Bob Hartman

Based on John 12:32, 3:14, Luke 19:2-4

The world is looking for a revelation

We're always under their investigation

They look at us to hear we got to say

They can't see Jesus when we stand in the way

They don't need no more eleveated speeches

We're keeping Jesus just beyond their reaches

Can't see the forest for all of the trees

They won't see Jesus till we fall on our knees

(Chorus)

Lift Him up higher and higher

Lift Him up set the world on fire

It doesn't take much theology

Just lift Him up so the world can see

Lift Him up tell the gospel story

Lift Him up left them see His glory

It doesn't take any Bible degree

Just lift Him up so the world can see

Sometimes they just can't see beyond the haze

Or find their way through the religious maze

Just like Zaccheus they're trying to see

They got to somehow see beyond you and me

Oh - how the world needs to see him

So they can believe Him

Oh - how can we ever hide Him

As if we had denied Him

Oh - How could He ever draw them

If they never saw Him

Oh - How can they see His glory

Without you and me
