Story behind the song
I like the opening riff of the Beatles' "Day Tripper". This song was performed live when I opened for Phil Keaggy in 1990.
Lyrics
Jesus, Lifter of My Head
I will give you praise O Lord,
For all you’ve done for me
You saved me from the jaws of hell and set my spirit free
One day you looked down to see me suffering below
You spoke the Word and I was free to go
Jesus, Savior, Lifter of my head
You broke my chains when you rose from the dead
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Jesus, Lifter of my head!
People are crying for something to believe
You’re still the answer for all who will receive
I want all the world to hear about the love of God
How he sent his Son for us to shed his precious blood
Rarely for a good man would someone dare to die
While I was yet his foe, he heard my cry
Jesus, Savior, Lifter of my head
You broke my chains when you rose from the dead
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Jesus, Lifter of my head!
People are crying for something to believe
You’re still the answer for all who will receive
