Lyrics
Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us
You came from heaven to earth – To show the way
From the earth to the cross – My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord I lift Your name on high

He walked this path not out of obligation, but to make a way for us to be reconnected with God and freed from our debt. As we sing these words, we are invited to pause and marvel at such self-giving grace. Lifting His name is our joyful, heartfelt response to the Savior who gave everything for us.
