So we lift You high Yahweh
So we lift You high Yahweh
So we lift You high Yahweh Yahweh
And we lift You high Yahweh
We lift You high Yahweh Yahweh
You alone deserve my worship
You alone deserve my praise
You alone deserve the honor

We lift You high Yahweh Yahweh
We lift You high Yahweh Yahweh
We lift You high Yahweh Yahweh
Let us add a greatness to Your great name

Great and mighty deliverer

Meaning & Inspiration
The song centers on a direct act of adoration. Its repeated declaration that Yahweh alone deserves worship, praise, and honor keeps the focus on God’s unique worth. The name yahweh, associated in Scripture with God’s self-revelation to Moses, gives the refrain a specific address rather than a generic expression of praise. The repetition places attention on the divine name and on the worship that name receives.
The line about adding greatness to God’s great name suggests public exaltation, while the description of God as a great and mighty deliverer adds a note of trust. Psalm 96:8–9 closely matches this movement: the psalm calls God’s people to ascribe glory to his name and worship in his courts. Through simple lines and sustained repetition, the song makes exaltation its single subject.
