The world is looking for a revelation We're always under their investigation
They look at us to hear we got to say They can't see Jesus when we stand in the way
They don't need no more elevated speeches We're keeping Jesus just beyond their reaches
Can't see the forest for all of the trees They won't see Jesus till we fall on our knees
(Chorus)
Lift Him up higher and higher Lift Him up set the world on fire
It doesn't take much theology Just lift Him up so the world can see
Lift Him up tell the gospel story Lift Him up left them see
His glory It doesn't take any Bible degree Just lift Him up so the world can see
Sometimes they just can't see beyond the haze Or find their way through the religious maze
Just like Zaccheus they're trying to see They got to somehow see beyond you and me
Oh - how the world needs to see him So they can believe Him
Oh - how can we ever hide Him As if we had denied Him
Oh - How could He ever draw them If they never saw Him Oh - How can they see His glory Without you and me
