He Didn't Lift Us Up To Let Us Down - The Imperials

He didn’t bring us this far to leave us

He didn’t teach us to swim to let us drown

He didn’t build His home in us to move away

He didn’t lift us up to let us down

There are some promises in a letter

Written a long, long time ago

They’re not getting older, they’re getting better

Because He still wants us to know

He didn’t bring us this far to leave us

He didn’t teach us to swim to let us drown

He didn’t build His home in us to move away

He didn’t lift us up to lt us down

(To let us down)

He didn’t lift us up to let us down

Nver use the word defeat

Claim His promises, every one of them

And every spoken word He’ll hear

Because we’re everything to Him

He didn’t bring us this far to leave us

He didn’t teach us to swim to let us drown

He didn’t build His home in us to move away

He didn’t lift us up to let us down

(To let us down)

He didn’t lift us up to let us down
