Jesus Lifts Me Up
I'm not a star; I don't need to be.To be creative I need to stay free,
free of fame---, flattery and po--wer;
How long does it take for star to burn sour---?
Je--sus lifts me up
In my humility---.
Je--sus pays me well
with life-- eternally---.
Worlds in collision when values collide;
Though Christ is inclusive not all come inside.
Some are so sure-- of their fortune and wealth---
That they feel stronger than Jesus himself.
Je--sus lifts me up
In my humility---.
Je--sus pays me well
with life-- eternally---.
How we treat oth--ers, we've often been told,
strengthens or weakens our very soul.
When someone hurts-- us repeatedly
Christ says: forgive seven-times-seventy.
Je--sus lifts me up
In my humility---.
Je--sus pays me well
with life-- eternally---.
