the world is looking for a revelation

The world is looking for a revelation
We re always under their investigation
They look at us to hear we got to say
They can t see Jesus when we stand in the way
They don t need no more elevated speeches
We re keeping Jesus just beyond their reaches
Can t see the forest for all of the trees
They won t see Jesus till we fall on our knees

Lift Him up higher and higher
Lift Him up set the world on fire
It doesn t take much theology
Just lift Him up so the world can see
Lift Him up tell the gospel story
Lift Him up left them see His glory
It doesn t take any Bible degree
Just lift Him up so the world can see

Sometimes they just can t see beyond the haze
Or find their way through the religious maze
Just like Zaccheus they re trying to see
They got to somehow see beyond you and me

Oh - how the world needs to see him
So they can believe Him
Oh - how can we ever hide Him
As if we had denied Him
Oh - How could He ever draw them
If they never saw Him
Oh - How can they see His glory
Without you and me
