Lord and Lifter

"Thou, O Lord, art a shield for me, my glory, and Lifter up of mine head" (Psalm 3:3). "Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad" (Proverbs 12:25).

Lord, You are a shield for me;
You're my glory and my crown.
When contemplating Calvary
You lift my head up when I'm down.

I see You died, Lord, in my stead,
On the cross to bear my shame.
Thus You lift my bowing my head
To magnify Your matchless name!

Heaviness within my heart
Can make it stoop and leave it sad.
But Your good word will impart
The grace of God that makes it glad.

Lord and Lifter of my eyes,
Do not let me waste the time
By stooping down when I should rise
To see Your majesty sublime.
