If I Be Lifted Up

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 --- If I Be Lifted Up - Emmylou Harris
