Lift Him Up
and the Joyful Harts Music Library
John 12
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, (During Verse 1) make remarks about how Jesus spent the three years of His ministry on earth teaching and preaching concerning the Kingdom of God. Emphasize that Christ knew that His crucifixion, death, and resurrection make up the cornerstone
of our faith. His death for the remission of sin had to occur for the New Covenant of faith to begin. For thousands of years faith in the Lord and Savior has brought men to Christ and to know God the Father. By way
of God’s grace and the work of the Holy Spirit we can walk in love,
joy and peace as we await the day when we shall see God with Christ
on His right hand. Every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord of all. (Philippians 2:10-11)
2. As the song continues, (During Verses 2 - 3) read the scripture found
in the book of John 12:23-50. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1-3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation
How to reach the masses, men of every birth,
For an answer Jesus gave the key:
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
Will draw all men unto me.”
Refrain:
Lift him up, lift him up,
Still he speaks from eternity:
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
Will draw all men unto me.”
Oh, the world is hungry for the Living Bread,
Lift the Savior up for them to see;
Trust him, and do not doubt the words that he said,
“I’ll draw all men unto me." (Refrain)
Don’t exalt the preacher, don’t exalt the pew,
Preach the Gospel simple, full and free;
Prove him and you will find that promise is true,
“I’ll draw all men unto me.” (Refrain)
