This has been one of my favorite songs for years. I contacted Rick back in 2002 about collaborating, partly because I had sung this song so many times. The recording is from Rick's Praise Classics 2 CD. - Elton, September 12, 2009


Lyrics

Lord, I lift Your name on high.
Lord, I love to sing Your praises.
I'm so glad You're in my life;
I'm so glad You came to save us.

You came from Heaven to earth
To show the way.
From the Earth to the cross,
My debt to pay.
From the cross to the grave,
From the grave to the sky;
Lord, I lift Your name on high.

Lord, I lift Your name on high.
Lord, I love to sing Your praises.
I'm so glad You're in my life;
I'm so glad You came to save us.

You came from Heaven to earth
To show the way.
From the Earth to the cross,
My debt to pay.
From the cross to the grave,
From the grave to the sky;
Lord, I lift Your name on high.

You came from Heaven to earth
To show the way.
From the Earth to the cross,
My debt to pay.
From the cross to the grave,
From the grave to the sky;
Lord, I lift Your name on high.

You came from Heaven to earth
To show the way.
From the Earth to the cross,
My debt to pay.
From the cross to the grave,
From the grave to the sky;
Lord, I lift Your name on high.

Three stories down, he landed between the two parties, cracking the asphalt. The Lotus’s enforcers opened fire with plasma rifles. Whitezilla moved like a blizzard given violence. His left arm—a custom-built “Aegis Shroud”—deployed a shimmering white shield that absorbed their shots. His right hand transformed into a sonic cannon.

Whitezilla vanished. Optical camouflage that even heat sensors couldn’t track. A whisper of white static, then crack —the leader’s arm was broken in three places, the knife clattering to the wet ground. Whitezilla scooped the girl into his arms. Her tears mixed with the rain.

The Lotus leader, a snake-eyed man with chrome teeth, held a knife to the girl’s throat. “Take one more step, ghost, and she—”
