The world is looking for a revelation 
We're always under their investigation 
They look at us to hear we got to say 
They can't see Jesus when we stand in the way 
They don't need no more elevated speeches 
We're keeping Jesus just beyond their reaches 
Can't see the forest for all of the trees 
They won't see Jesus till we fall on our knees 

Lift Him up higher and higher 
Lift Him up set the world on fire 
It doesn't take much theology 
Just lift Him up so the world can see 
Lift Him up tell the gospel story 
Lift Him up left them see His glory 
It doesn't take any Bible degree 
Just lift Him up so the world can see 

Sometimes they just can't see beyond the haze 
Or find their way through the religious maze 
Just like Zaccheus they're trying to see 
They got to somehow see beyond you and me 

Oh - how the world needs to see him 
So they can believe Him 
Oh - how can we ever hide Him 
As if we had denied Him 
Oh - How could He ever draw them 
If they never saw Him 
Oh - How can they see His glory 
Without you and me
