Take care in these dangerous times and reach out to the ones you love

Praise Adonai

(aka "We Lift You Up")

By Rhesa Siregar, Elton Smith, Steve Israel and Larry Holder

CCLI Number: 2943040

Our brother from Indonesia, Rhesa, started this wonderful song. Steve, Larry and I added lyrics to the ones Rhesa provided. This song really moves and it seems to be written for a choir, but it could be done by a congregation with a little practice. This song is the finale of our new Easter play Resurrection Song. Try to imagine the apostles looking up to heaven as Jesus ascends singing "we lift You up, praise Adonai!". - Elton, January 8, 2000.

(Introduction)

(Verse 1)
We bow in Your presence
God shining down from above.
We treasure each moment
In the Light.
We bow in Your presence
Show us Your Truth and Your love.
We know You by faith
We long for sight,
With arms outstretched now...

(Chorus)
We lift You up, praise Adonai.
We lift You up, praise Adonai.

(Verse 2)
We hunger to know You,
Seeking to follow Your heart,
Led by Your Spirit in the Way.
Abundant rejoicing,
Knowing You'll never depart.
We cry out as one, now,
As we say,
Oh, Loving Father...

(Repeat Chorus)
We lift You up, praise Adonai.
We lift You up, praise Adonai.

(Bridge)
From the depths of the sea to the mountaintops high,
Lord, we call out Your name.
We look to You at the start of each day,
Your praise and Your glory proclaim.
Father...

(Repeat Chorus)
We lift You up, praise Adonai.
We lift You up, praise Adonai.

(Ending)
All praise, honor and glory to You Lord,
We lift You up!
We lift You up!
All praise, honor and glory to You Lord,
We lift You up!
We lift You up!
All praise, honor and glory to You Lord,
We lift You up!
We lift You up!
All praise, honor and glory Lord,
We lift You up!
We lift You up!
