Numbers 21:8 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” 

Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

John 4:10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

John 9:25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”

John 12:32 "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

V. 1 Lift Him up, 'tis He that bids you,

Let the dying look and live;

To all weary, thirsting sinners, 

Living waters will He give;

And though once so meek and lowly,

Yet the Prince of heaven was He;

And the blind, who grope in darkness,

Through the blood of Christ shall see.

1 Timothy 6:11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 

Refrain: Lift Him up, the risen Savior,

High amid the waiting throng;

Lift Him up, 'tis He that speaketh,

Now He bids you flee from wrong.

Matthew 22:29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God."

John 10:16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

V. 2 Lift Him up, this precious Savior,

Let the multitude behold;

They with willing hearts shall seek Him,

He will draw them to His fold;

They shall gather from the wayside,

Hastening on with joyous feet,

They shall bear the cross of Jesus,

And shall find salvation sweet.

Refrain

Jeremiah 31:3 The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness."

V. 3 Lift Him up in all His glory,

'Tis the Son of God on high;

Lift Him up, His love shall draw them,

E'en the careless shall draw nigh;

Let them hear again the story

Of the cross, the death of shame;

And from tongue to tongue repeat it;

Mighty throngs shall bless His name.

Refrain

Psalm 148:12, 13 ...young men and women, old men and children.  Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

Isaiah 35:5, 6 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.  Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.

V. 4 O then lift Him up in singing,

Lift the Savior up in prayer

He, the glorious Redeemer,

All the sins of men did bear;

Yes, the young shall bow before Him,

And the old their voices raise;

All the deaf shall hear hosannah;

And the dumb shall shout His praise.

Refrain
