Sheet music
- 1In loving-kindness Jesus cameMy soul in mercy to reclaim,And from the depths of sin and shameThro' grace He lifted me.(He lifted me.)From sinking sand, He lifted me,With tender hand, He lifted me,From shades of night to planes of light,O praise His name, He lifted me!
- 2He called me long before I heard,Before my sinful heart was stirred,But when I took Him at His word,Forgiv'n He lifted me.(He lifted me.)From sinking sand, He lifted me,With tender hand, He lifted me,From shades of night to planes of light,O praise His name, He lifted me!
- 3His 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.(He lifted me.)From sinking sand, He lifted me,With tender hand, He lifted me,From shades of night to planes of light,O praise His name, He lifted me!
- 4Now 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.(He lifted me.)From sinking sand, He lifted me,With tender hand, He lifted me,From shades of night to planes of light,O praise His name, He lifted me!
