Highlands Worship - Lift The Name (Remix) Lyrics
Lyrics
Come like You promised
I am desperate to see Your face
Show me Your glory
I need Your presence every day
And I will lift the name of Jesus high
I will live my life for Him
And there is none who's loved me greater
There is none, there is none
Come Holy Spirit
Walk beside me, unveil my eyes
Show me Your power
And search my heart now and breathe new life
And I will lift the name of Jesus high
I will live my life for Him
And there is none who's loved me greater
And I will lift the name of Jesus high
I will live my life for Him
And there is none who's loved me greater
Yeah! There is none, Lord
Sing, let it ring
For the glory of the King
Sing, let it ring
For the glory of the King!
Sing, let it ring
For the glory of the King
Sing, let it ring
For the glory of the King!
Sing, let it ring
For the glory of the King
Sing, let it ring
For the glory of the King

Lift the Name (Remix)
Meaning & Inspiration
Highlands Worship released their impactful remix of "Lift The Name" on July 6, 2018, as part of their "You're Here - EP." This track serves as a profound devotional declaration, immediately drawing listeners into a space of deep spiritual longing and commitment. At its core, the song embodies the timeless Christian yearning for God's manifest presence and a resolute decision to live a life dedicated to Jesus, acknowledging His unparalleled love. It’s a call to both personal intimacy with the Divine and a public proclamation of His sovereignty.
The song opens with an urgent plea, "Come like You promised, I am desperate to see Your face," echoing the deep spiritual hunger seen throughout scripture, much like the psalmist's cry, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God" (Psalm 42:1). This desperation isn't merely emotional; it’s a recognition of utter dependence on God. The subsequent lines, "Show me Your glory, I need Your presence every day," further intensify this desire, recalling Moses' bold request to God in Exodus 33:18, "Please show me your glory." It articulates a daily, conscious choice to seek the illuminating and transformative power that comes from being in God's immediate nearness, understanding that His presence is not a fleeting experience but a constant necessity for spiritual vitality and guidance (Matthew 6:11).
The chorus then transitions from a posture of yearning to a powerful declaration of resolve: "And I will lift the name of Jesus high, I will live my life for Him." This isn't a passive statement but an active commitment, aligning with Paul's exhortation to live "not for ourselves but for him who died for them and was raised again" (2 Corinthians 5:15). To "lift the name of Jesus high" is a public act of worship and adoration, acknowledging His supreme authority and deserving honor, as proclaimed in Philippians 2:9-11, where God "exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name." This commitment is rooted in a profound understanding of God's love, articulated in the powerful line, "And there is none who's loved me greater." This simple yet profound truth underscores the unique and sacrificial love demonstrated through Christ's death and resurrection (John 3:16, Romans 5:8), a love that compels such wholehearted dedication.
The second verse extends this invitation to the Holy Spirit: "Come Holy Spirit, Walk beside me, unveil my eyes." This is a specific prayer for divine companionship and spiritual illumination. The Holy Spirit is the Helper and Counselor (John 14:26), and the request to "unveil my eyes" speaks to the need for spiritual discernment and understanding that transcends human perception, akin to the revelation Paul prayed for in Ephesians 1:18, "that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened." The petition "Show me Your power, And search my heart now and breathe new life" emphasizes a yearning for both empowerment for service (Acts 1:8) and profound inner transformation. It's a surrender to God's refining work, inviting Him to purify the innermost being (Psalm 139:23-24) and to impart spiritual revitalization, a breath of new life reminiscent of God breathing life into Adam (Genesis 2:7) and bringing dry bones back to life (Ezekiel 37).
The repetitive, anthemic bridge, "Sing, let it ring, For the glory of the King," serves as a communal call to worship. It transitions the personal declaration into a corporate celebration, inviting everyone to join in the exaltation of Jesus, the "King of kings and Lord of lords" (Revelation 19:16). This segment is a jubilant command, encouraging believers to audibly and unreservedly proclaim God's majesty, echoing the psalmist's command to "Sing to the Lord, bless his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations" (Psalm 96:2-3). The repetition reinforces the urgency and joy of this shared mission. Ultimately, "Lift The Name (Remix)" is more than just a song; it's a prayer, a testimony, and a powerful call to worship that moves from a personal plea for divine presence to a corporate anthem of praise, all anchored in the matchless love and supremacy of Jesus Christ.
