If I Be Lifted Up lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down in the valley while on my knees
I asked my Jesus, carry please
He promised that He'd take care of me
If I would lift Him up

[Chorus]
He said if I (He said if I) be lifted up (Be lifted up)
He said if I (He said if I) be lifted up (Be lifted up)
I'll be your father, I'll be your mother
I'll be your sister and your brother
He said if I (He said if I) be lifted up (Be lifted up)
I'll bring joy, joy, joy to your soul

[Verse 2]
When I am lonely, when I am sad
My Jesus comes and makes me glad
He is the dearest friend I have had
I want to lift Him up

[Chorus]
He said if I (He said if I) be lifted up (Be lifted up)
He said if I (He said if I) be lifted up (Be lifted up)
I'll be your father, I'll be your mother
I'll be your sister and your brother
He said if I (He said if I) be lifted up (Be lifted up)
I'll bring joy, joy, joy to your soul
