If I Be Lifted Up - Emmylou Harris

Down in the valley while on my knees

I asked my Jesus carry please

He promised that he’d take care of me If I would lift him up He said if I Be lifted up He said if I Be lifted up

I 'll be your father

I’ll be your mother

I’ll be your sister

And your brother

He said if I Be lifted up

I’ll bring joy, joy, joy

To your soul

When I am lonely

When I am sad

My Jesus comes and makes me glad

He is the dearest friend I’ve have had

I want to lift Him up He said if I Be lifted up He said if I Be lifted up

I 'll be your father

I’ll be your mother

I’ll be your sister

And your brother

He said if I Be lifted up

I’ll bring joy, joy, joy

To your soul
