Regina Mcintosh Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

I Was Lifted High

Lost and alone, I fell on my knees
Left all my pride 
Replaced it with humility
Humble and contrite, I cried
For the One who knows me
Fills my heart with light

And He came down
From His home on high
Left His royal throne
To fill my heart with love

He came down
And I was lifted high
Above the sins and sadness
Into glorious gladness

Lost and alone, I couldn’t struggle on
When He came into my heart
Filled me up with joy and hope
Struck my soul with reverence
Delight that glowed deep within
Relieving sorrows and ridding me of sin

He came down
And I was lifted high
Above the sins and sadness
Into glorious gladness

He came down
And I was lifted high
I was lifted high
I was lifted high

Malabika Ray Choudhury October 13, 2021 at 3:50 PM Dear Gina, you have written such an inspiring and graceful poem. All of your poems, I find, graceful and solemn - lifting up our spirits. Thank you and glad to know you enjoyed the translation - I have done and posted a few more translations from Tagore - the links are all in my bio. Most of them are about women empowerment. Love and hugs ~ Mala

Victor Buhagiar October 13, 2021 at 8:13 AM This song should be an inspiration for all. Because we discarded God and so died ourselves. But God's love will lift us up again if we want.
