The fradulence of the human heart,
the deluded lives we lead.
Yearning to be free from misguided passion,
and willed monotony.
New birth,
living water,
hope beyond hope will relieve.
Cruel manacles that bind so tight,
only death bring eternal reprieve.
Lifted up to the height of heights
earth bound to a cross, all for me.
Lifted up on that day I knew.
Lifted up, this day I know!
To call you Lord
and by death;
Be set free.
