Lyrics
Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us
You came from heaven to earth to show the way
From the earth to the cross my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us
You came from heaven to earth to show the way
From the earth to the cross my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord I lift Your name on high
You came from heaven to earth to show the way
From the earth to the cross my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I lift Your name on high

Lord I Lift Your Name On High - Maranatha Singers (With Lyrics)
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on November 8, 2008, "Lord I Lift Your Name On High" by The Maranatha Singers stands as a powerful testament to unwavering faith and the central, exalting message of Christianity. The song's genesis, while not explicitly detailed for this particular rendition, echoes the sentiment of many modern worship anthems designed to draw believers into a collective declaration of God's supremacy. At its core, the song is a direct, uncomplicated elevation of Jesus Christ, focusing on His divine nature and redemptive work. It’s a sonic embodiment of Psalm 9:2, which declares, "I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, Most High." The repetition of the central phrase, "Lord, I lift Your name on high," isn't merely a musical hook; it’s a deliberate anchoring point, inviting the listener to participate in the act of glorifying God.
The narrative thread woven through "Lord I Lift Your Name On High" is the profound realization of Christ's victory over sin and death, a theme powerfully articulated in Romans 6:9: "For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him." The lyrics directly address this by referencing His sacrifice and resurrection, making it a declaration of the Gospel itself. This isn't a song about personal struggle or petition, but rather a communal and individual acclamation of Christ's worthiness. It’s a reflection of the early church’s foundational preaching, as seen in Acts 4:12, where Peter states, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." The song's simplicity serves its purpose beautifully, ensuring that the singular focus remains on exalting the name of Jesus. The Maranatha Singers deliver this message with a clarity and conviction that allows the profound theological truth to shine through, encouraging a posture of worship and adoration that resonates deeply with the scriptural call to praise. It’s an invitation to join a timeless chorus of believers who, across generations, have lifted the name of Jesus, recognizing Him as the source of all hope and salvation.
