(Traditional)



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
