[Verse 1] I was down in the dust You met me there Felt that weight break loose Right in my hands You took the nail-scarred road And turned it wide Now every chain I had Got left behind [Pre-Chorus] You rose like thunder Over my fear Clean break, clear sky You’re right here My heart keeps climbing Up to the sound Of mercy calling From heaven down [Chorus] Jesus Had to be High Jesus Had to be High Way above my trouble Way above my night Jesus Had to be High Jesus Had to be High (name above all names) King forever, lifted bright [Verse 2] I’ve seen the valley I’ve walked that line But Your word kept pulling me Back to life On the hard days, You stay Like steady stone When the whole world shakes You hold me close [Pre-Chorus] You rose like thunder Over my fear Clean break, clear sky You’re right here My heart keeps climbing Up to the sound Of mercy calling From heaven down [Chorus] Jesus Had to be High Jesus Had to be High Way above my trouble Way above my night Jesus Had to be High Jesus Had to be High (name above all names) King forever, lifted bright [Bridge] Hands up Heart up I can’t stay low Grace came And it pulled me close Every knee bows Every tongue knows Jesus, You reign Jesus, You hold [Chorus] Jesus Had to be High Jesus Had to be High Way above my trouble Way above my night Jesus Had to be High Jesus Had to be High (name above all names) King forever, lifted bright [Outro] Oh-oh-oh You are high Oh-oh-oh Jesus, High
