(traditional)
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
