Lyrics

O magnify the Lord with me,
give Him all praises, He's worthy
O sing unto the Lord
(sopranos): A...
(altos): A...
(tenors): A...
New song!


Sing His praises all day long
Give Him the glory, honor
The highest praise...
Lift up Jesus


(repeat)


Lift up Jesus,
lift the Savior up


Lift up Jesus!

Meaning & Inspiration

“Lift Him Up” is a concise call to corporate praise. It opens by inviting the congregation to magnify the Lord together, then moves through singing, glory, honor, and the highest praise. The choir-part cues for sopranos, altos, and tenors strengthen that communal setting: different voices join in one act of exalting Jesus. Repetition keeps the song centered on its main command rather than shifting into a separate story or personal testimony.

Several phrases closely echo the Psalms. “O magnify the Lord with me” reflects the invitation of Psalm 34, while the call to sing a new song appears repeatedly in biblical worship. The insistence that praise continue all day also recalls passages that bless the Lord continually. Within that scriptural pattern, lifting up Jesus means openly honoring the Savior and declaring his worth. The song’s economy is part of its function: a few direct lines give a choir and congregation clear language for unified, sustained praise.
