Tonya Baker - Lord we lift You up! Lyrics

This praise song uses short, repeated lines to keep its focus on adoration. Lifted hands and a bowed head become outward signs of praise and honor, while the returning Hallelujah keeps God's worthiness at the centre. Rather than developing a narrative, the lyrics function as a corporate confession built for singing together.

The song's movement from “You are worthy” to “Lord we lift You up” links recognition with response. Praise is not left as an idea but is expressed through posture, voice, and the repetition of God's name. That simplicity gives the song a clear devotional character, with every line directed toward God's honor. The recurring words also make worthiness the reason for each action: hands rise, heads bow, and voices praise because God alone is exalted. Its narrow lyrical focus supports communal worship without adding claims beyond that central confession.
