Be Lifted High

Be lifted high, high above all, exalted, higher than our hopes, glorified, above the heavens, higher than the earth, atop the mountains, over our greatest achievements, Creator of the universe, arraigned in glory, clothed in light, bright and morning star,
Over all our pride, in our hearts, higher than our desires, greater than our understanding, surpassing in majesty, victor over death, beyond everlasting,
Eternally Gracious king, merciful Lord, gentle Father, Holy God!

What this means for our worship?
This Psalm is to be read with “Be lifted high” before every phrase. Ex. Be lifted high atop the mountains, be lifted high over our greatest achievements, and so on.
Read it out loud; there is power in the spoken word. God spoke the universe into being, speak his praises, and sing unto him this blessing. If feels great in our souls to give him praise, for he alone is worthy.

Recommended listening: “Came to the rescue” by Hillsong united, from the album United we stand.
