Emmylou Harris - If I Be Lifted Up Lyrics






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

    Emmy's gospel songs enable me to remember all those loved ones who have passed over that great divide. My tears are those of joy and thankfulness for having been loved like that once in my life.

    Very sad song.

    Celica Bojorge It’s a mournful one.

    @beanscot Dear Celica. I think I understand your feeling. Beanscot seems to have a sound description. Sometimes the mournfulness
    bothers me very much. But, when I consider the truth of comfort that Jesus brought to me from a very young age of much suffering, the Joy
    of which the song proclaims has been realized. Bearing the weight of Bipolar Disorder since childhood has given me occasions of desperation.
    However, memories of the training of my Mother's love for Jesus engrained a faith that a walk with my Best Friend when times were good gave me
    a spiritual well of refreshing Grace to help me through some very dark times. At 78 yrs. of age I anticipate Challenges that I've had to always bear, but I know
    my Best Friend, my Big Brother, my Savior, will always be present with His Grace so freely given. Thanks for expressing your comment.

    beanscot The singers are "my people." Their music is the music of my soul.

    M.... P....

    i think that's Carl Jackson on guitar and baritone and Vince Gill on mandolin and high tenor? At least that's how the credits for this album list the players? Emory Gordy is the bass and bass vocal.
