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 upHe 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 brotherHe said if I (he said if I)
Be lifted up (be lifted up)
Ill bring joy, oh joy, to your soulWhen 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 upHe 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 brotherHe said if I (he said if I)
Be lifted up (be lifted up)
Ill bring joy, oh joy, to your soul
