If I Be Lifted Up

Down in the valley while on my knees
I asked my Jesus carry please
He promised that He'd take care of me
If I would lift Him up

He said if I be lifted up
He said if I be lifted up
I 'll be your father, I'll be your mother
I'll be your sister and your brother
He said if I be lifted up
I'll bring joy, joy, 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've have had
I want to lift Him up

He said if I be lifted up
He said if I be lifted up
I 'll be your father, I'll be your mother
I'll be your sister and your brother
He said if I be lifted up
I'll bring joy, joy, joy to your soul
