Lyrics

[Intro]
Woo
Wow
Woo
Woo
Wow
Woo
[Verse 1]
Jesus keeps a-takin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Jesus keeps a-takin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Daily hiding me in His abounding love
When I stumble, He gives me a shove
Jesus keeps a-takin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Jesus keeps a-takin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Woo
Wow
Woo
[Verse 2]
Jesus keeps a-liftin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Jesus keeps a-liftin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Giving me the grace I know I don't deserve
And when I'm feeble, He is my reserve
Jesus keeps a-liftin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
He keeps a-holdin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
[Bridge]
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Woo
Wow
Woo
[Verse 3]
Jesus keeps a-leadin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Jesus keeps a-leadin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Proving in Him I have a perfect friend
Surely He leads me to heights with no end
Jesus keeps a-leadin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
He keeps on holdin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
[Bridge]
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher
[Verse 4]
Jesus keeps a-leadin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Jesus keeps a-speedin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Jesus keeps a-leadin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Jesus started takin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Jesus keeps a-leadin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
Jesus started liftin' me higher and higher (Higher and higher, higher and higher)
