Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2021©
I will exalt thee
To the highest heavens
Let trumpets sound
I will lift my voice to
You in the morning
And when evening comes
I will exalt thee, oh, God
You are my Lord
And Maker
And my Guide
Lead me to life everlasting
May I never leave your side
I will exalt thee, my Maker
With hands lifted high
I will surrender my will
And bless you in the night
I will exalt thee
I will exalt thee
I will exalt thee
For so long I have been down so low
lost in the darkness of doubt, the Devil
kept saying you think and you worry
way too much but Jesus said I am the
way, the love and the life, his voice
sounded like rolling thunder, turning
my heart inside out and it's now I know
you can hear me, down on bended knees
saying oh hallowed be thy name, forever
and for all eternity, yes and I pray for
those, for you and me, I am so tired and
weary but I know Jesus will give me
the strength to sustain until he comes
back to get me because I know, I know
he loves me oh and so I EXALT THEE
Lord Jesus, I EXALT THEE, I EXALT
THEE...
Oh and as the Angels sing I sing along
with them, he heard me as if I were singing
alone, singing my new heart song, singing
my life is in your hands, grant me wisdom
peace and patience so I can be the man
you want me to be, the man you wanna see
me be, show me the way and I will follow
because love leads me and if nobody loves
me Jesus I know you love me and I EXALT
THEE, I EXALT THEE Lord Jesus, I EXALT
THEE...
I Exalt You, My God!
I will exalt you! My God and king!
And worship your name
above EVERYTHING!
Forever and ever I will bless your name!
Your goodness in my life, I seek to obtain.
Every day I will bless
your name forever.
Your path of righteousness, I choose to endeavor!
Great is the Lord! Your greatness
is unsearchable!
You rule by your word… Your divine principle…
One generation will praise
your works to another.
And shall declare your
awesome deeds together!
I will speak of the honor of your majesty.
Not to do so, would be a “spiritual tragedy.”
Men shall speak loudly
of your awesome acts.
What you do, I neither question or ask.
I will declare my God’s
greatness each day.
And will listen to the words he has to say!
He rules the earth and
heavens above.
All of creation declares his
great acts of love!
Won’t you listen to God’s humble plea?
Knowing how much he loves you and me?
He has a purpose for me
and you that is evident.
And offers to all…
Eternal life in a heavenly residence!

Shall I ask you of this...
no need of remiss...
rising star my heart will resist...
you delight in this scourge...
take care young fool...
you spurn your heart felt favour...
...this centre of attention...
...but a temporary distraction...
...you will fail in this folly...
forbidden from privilege...
of this womans' love...
you ever the servant...
as I exit this battle...
my heart not be the judge...
I leave you within your heart
displeased...
intact with all my love I leave...
Our affections tend...
...time has worn away once
the promises made...
but for the one true promise...
to reside in the sun of your
favor...and yet have this world
challenge me...
come watch my heat listen...
...the luxury of this love unfolds...
...truth will not weep misfortune...
trust that your heart will read
my silence...
...or your silence will not
receive from that which is
gifted from beyond above...
