Chorus:
I would have fainted, lest I believe
to see the goodness of the Lord.
Kept me from falling, sustained my life,
protects me through the flood.

(From sinking sand) He lifted me,
(with tender hands), He set me free,
I'll never forget the day,
old things passed away, He lifted me .

Verse:
In the time of trouble the Lord shall hide me,
and the righteous won't be forsaken,
nor His seed begging bread.
Before you call Him, He surely will answer,
(oh bless the Lord, He lifted me).

Vamp 1:
He held me up, He lifted me.

Vamp 2:
Oh shout for joy, He lifted me.

Vamp 3:
I'll tell the world, He lifted me.

Ending:
Oh bless the Lord,
Oh bless the Lord,
Oh bless the Lord, He lifted me.
