I gotta try to do right when life's doing me wrong
Gotta shake the dust off my feet and keep marchin' on
When trouble weighs me down, brings me to my knees
Lord, my needs are many, but that's a pretty
Yeah a pretty good place to be
Don't blame it on the preacher 'cuz the preacher done told
"The devil's got a target on my heart and my soul"
But let me tell you, brother, what the devil don't know
The lower I go, the more I'm gonna lift you
Higher, higher, higher
I'm gonna lift you higher, higher, higher
God Almighty, you are worthy
Higher, higher, higher
I may never get money, I may never have fame
But if I'm ever in the spotlight, I'll point it back your way
'Cuz standing at the top was never ever my goal
But if you put me on a mountain then I'll tell the whole world
Singing hallelujah 'til I hit the dirt, oh
I'm gonna lift you higher, higher, higher
I'm gonna lift you higher, higher, higher
God Almighty, you are worthy
Higher, higher, higher
Hallelujah, He is worthy
Hallelujah, He is good
Leave me in rags and ruins and I'll praise You through it
Clothe me in glory and riches, I'll praise You just the same
All that I have, all I've been given, all of my life's ambition
Is to worship, is to honor, is to bring You praise
I'm gonna lift you higher, higher, higher
I'm gonna lift you higher, higher, higher
God Almighty, you are worthy
Higher, higher, higher
