In loving kindness Jesus came,
My soul in mercy to reclaim,
And from the depths of sin and shame
Though grace He lifted me.

Chorus:

From sinking sand He lifted me,
With tender hand He lifted me,
Fron shades of night to plains of light,
O praise His name, He lifted me!

He called me long before I heard.
Before my sinful heart was stirred,
But when I took Him at His word,
Forgiven He lifted me.

Chorus

His brow was pierced with many a thorn.
His hands by cruel nails were torn,
When from my guilt and grief, forlorn,
In love He lifted me.

Chorus

Now on a higher plane I dwell,
And with my soul I know 'tis well;
Yet how or why I cannot tell
He should have lifted me.

Chorus
