Lifted High

I wrote "Lifted High" in a time of my life where I had no sense of direction. I looked to the east and west, but could not seem to find feeling or see where God was leading our family. N.T. Wright quotes Habakkuk 3:17 in the media video "Scripture Resources of Worship", and that is exactly what the Holy Spirit lead me to. We must continue to praise God no matter what our feelings tell us. Scripture urges us to praise God whether we are in the valley or standing on the mountains.

N.T. Wright also states in the media "God Songs"," that feelings come and go with the weather", but scripture constantly draws us back to the solid words of God. The first verse of this song goes into detail of not knowing where God is leading. It goes on to state that God doesn't change as the Sovereign King reigning over all, so in response to our God reigning as King, we will rise this day and praise His name no matter what.

In the chorus, this song declares, "Lifted High, my hands are yours, my feet will go, all that I have, I give it to You". As God is Creator of all, we as children of God give everything that He has given to us, back to Him. This song has a focus of surrender to the Most High, and also touches on the fact that Satan has no power over a child of God. "Behind me Satan, I'm free to Sing", because Jesus as Savior has paid for my sin.[gallery]
