Who is like the Lord Almighty
There is no one
Who compares in love and mercy

They keep going on and on unending

So holy, I exalt You
So worthy, I will praise You
So matchless, I will bow down

Measureless in saving power

Christ Be Lifted Higher (feat. Clay Finnesand) | Bridge Worship
Meaning & Inspiration
"Christ Be Lifted Higher," a powerful offering from Bridge Worship featuring Clay Finnesand, arrived on September 9, 2022, and immediately invites listeners into a profound declaration of God's supremacy. The song's essence lies in its unwavering focus on the incomparable nature of the Lord Almighty, a theme that echoes throughout Scripture. From the opening lines questioning who is like the Lord, the lyrics draw a clear parallel to declarations found in Psalms and Isaiah, such as "Who in the heavens can compare to the Lord?" (Psalm 89:6) and "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?" (Isaiah 40:12). This deliberate theological framing establishes the song’s core message: that God's love, mercy, works, and wonders are not merely abundant but utterly without parallel, existing in an unending, measureless capacity.
The unfolding narrative of "Christ Be Lifted Higher" moves from recognition of God’s unique attributes to a passionate, active response of worship. The recurring chorus, with its simple yet potent declarations – "So holy, I exalt You; So worthy, I will praise You; So matchless, I will bow down" – serves as a musical and theological anchor. This tripartite expression of reverence directly mirrors the scriptural injunctions to acknowledge God's holiness, offer praise due to His worthiness, and humble ourselves in His presence. The bridge then elevates this personal response into a communal aspiration: "Christ be lifted higher." This refrain isn't just an anthem; it's a fervent prayer, a desire to see Christ’s name and reign exalted above all else, echoing the sentiment of John the Baptist who said, "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30). The repeated affirmation, "There's no one greater and nothing I want more," powerfully articulates a surrendered heart, one that finds ultimate fulfillment and desire in the singular glory of Christ. This resonates with the profound truth that in Him, all things are made complete and our deepest longings are met. The song ultimately calls for a complete surrender, recognizing Jesus as King and Good Shepherd, prompting the natural question posed within the lyrics: "How could I not surrender all?" This question is answered by the pervasive understanding that a life truly apprehending God's immense nature can only respond with complete devotion and a desire to see His name magnified above all creation.
