Lyrics of He said if i be lifted up

Down in the valley while on my knees
I asked my jesus, carry me please
He promised that hed take care of me
If i would lift him up

He said if i (he said if i)
Be lifted up (be lifted up)
He said if i (he said if i)
Be lifted up (be lifted up)
Ill be your father, ill be your mother
Ill be your sister, and your brother

He said if i (he said if i)
Be lifted up (be lifted up)
Ill bring joy, oh joy, to your soul

When i am lonely, when i am sad
My jesus comes and makes me glad
He is the dearest friend i have had
I want to lift him up

He said if i (he said if i)
Be lifted up (be lifted up)
He said if i (he said if i)
Be lifted up (be lifted up)
Ill be your father, ill be your mother
Ill be your sister, and your brother

He said if i (he said if i)
Be lifted up (be lifted up)
Ill bring joy, oh joy, to your soul
