Evelyn Amo - Lift His Name Higher Lyrics
Lyrics
Jesus said that, if you will lift me up
I will draw all men to myself
It's in two folds
We have a part to play
And then He has a part to play
Our job is to lift Him up
Lift Him up with our praise
But also lift Him up with our lives
I mean the testimonies of our lives
We lift Him up and He draws all the men to Himself
Lift His name (higher)5x
Lift the name of Jesus (higher)
Higher, lift His name higher
Come on and lift His name (higher)
The name of Jesus (higher)
Our Lord and savior (higher)
Just lift His name (higher)
Lift His name
For all men to see
Oh lift up the name of our savior Jesus
Oh lift His name
Lift His name 4x
The Lord is good, I will lift His name higher
See everywhere I go, I will lift His name higher
The Lord is so good to me, I will lift Him up higher
Oh everywhere i go, i must lift Him up higher

Evelyn Amo - Lift His name Higher (Live In Amsterdam)
Meaning & Inspiration
Evelyn Amo’s “Lift His Name Higher (Live In Amsterdam),” released on September 26, 2016, is a vibrant and deeply spiritual anthem that powerfully articulates the core mission of Christian faith. The song immediately establishes its profound message, drawing directly from John 12:32, where Jesus declares, "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." Evelyn Amo unpacks this truth, revealing a beautiful partnership: believers have the sacred responsibility to lift Jesus up, and in response, He performs the divine work of drawing humanity to Himself. This act of "lifting Him up" is presented in a dual capacity—through fervent praise and through the lived testimonies of our daily lives, echoing the call to let our light shine before others so they may see our good works and glorify God (Matthew 5:16).
The lyrical journey in "Lift His Name Higher" is a continuous, escalating declaration of devotion. The repeated chorus, "Lift His name higher," serves as both a command and an invitation, compelling the worshipper to elevate Jesus above all else. This isn't merely an emotional outburst but a purposeful act of reverence, rooted in the understanding that "the Lord is good." The song challenges us to consider where and when we lift His name, prompting a commitment to do so "everywhere I go," "in the morning, afternoon, and midnight hours." This unwavering resolve, regardless of life’s circumstances—whether "with my tears" or "with my joy," "when I'm rich" or "when I'm poor"—reflects a posture of constant thanksgiving and trust, aligning with Paul's exhortation to do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus (Colossians 3:17) and to give thanks in all situations (1 Thessalonians 5:18). It’s a powerful reminder that our worship isn't confined to specific moments but permeates every aspect of existence, embodying the truth that we are to magnify the Lord at all times (Psalm 34:1).
Furthermore, Evelyn Amo emphasizes the profound power and efficacy found in the name of Jesus. The song passionately affirms, "I get my liberty in the name of Jesus," "I get my healing in the name of Jesus," "I get my salvation in the name of Jesus," and "I am set free in the name of Jesus." These declarations resonate deeply with Scripture, particularly Philippians 2:9-11, which proclaims that God has highly exalted Jesus and given Him "the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow... and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord." The song reminds us that salvation is found in no other name (Acts 4:12), and that through His name, freedom from sin, sickness, and spiritual bondage is made real. The impassioned calls to "shout Hallelujah," a profound Hebrew expression meaning "Praise the Lord," punctuate the song, serving as a universal anthem of praise and thanksgiving, particularly as we remember that "He shed His blood for you and I." This acknowledgment of Jesus' ultimate sacrifice on the cross (Romans 5:8, Hebrews 9:22) forms the bedrock of our praise, underscoring His worthiness of our adoration. Evelyn Amo's "Lift His Name Higher" is more than just a song; it is a spiritual mandate, a heartfelt expression of faith, and an encouraging call for believers to embody their purpose—to consistently and comprehensively uplift the name of Jesus, trusting in His promise to draw all people to Himself through their faithful witness and worship.
