If I Be Lifted Up
Folder:
Faith, God, and the future The Cross hath drawn all men to Christ
Yet many will deny
The awesome power now reveiled
From Crowned on yonder high
Power and compassion
Death and Victory
Not oft are they companions
Yet, here are beautifully
"If I be lifted up," he said
The meathod seemed so grim
But he knew what holiness demanded
To draw lost men to him
"It is finished," were his final words
Then they laid him in the ground
The heart of the earth could not contain him
3 days later he was homeward bound
To bring his own sweet precious blood
To sprinkle on the mercy seat
Propitiation for my sins
Redemptions plan is now complete
Now I see him high and lifted up
Because he paid the mighty cost
It's time I count my losses gain
And take up my own rugged cross!
