Lifted Up Lyrics

On a slow road to Jerusalem

That ends in suffering

See the man of sorrows coming

To be crowned a king

See the crowds

As They gather to declare his praise

But they don't know the dreadful place

That He will be raised

He's got friends and foes and followers

Hypocrites who hate him

Lepers he made clean

But there are whispers of a plan

To silence…this Nazarene

For He must be lifted up

Lift Him up

Lift Him up

See the Maker drink salvation's bitter cup

Go on and lift Him high

Better one Man die

So the people can be saved

Now the crowd is growing louder

And there's people everywhere

Laying garments on the road

Waving branches in the air

Crying out "Hosanna!

Save us now! Hear our prayer!

They thought an earthly kingdom

Was the reason He was there

But He came down from Heaven

For the prophecy of old

That said He Who had no sin

Became sin for us all and so

Like the serpent in the desert

Moses placed upon a pole

He must be lifted up

Lift Him up

Lift Him up

See the Maker drink salvation's bitter cup

Go on and lift Him high

Better one Man die

So the people can be saved

Lifted up

From the earth

I'll draw all people to myself

Arms stretched out

Open wide

The Son of God

Now glorified

Lifted up

From the earth

I'll draw all people to myself

Arms stretched out

Open wide

The Son of God

Now glorified

Lifted up

from the earth

I'll draw all people to myself

Arms stretched out

Open wide

The Son of God

Now glorified

The Son of God now glorified

Father God now glorified

Lift Him up

Lift Him up

See the Maker drink salvation's bitter cup

Go on and lift Him high

Better one Man die

So the people will be saved

So the people will be saved

So the people will be saved
