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
