Full Song Lyrics

Verse 1:

In a small church South of Nashville I learned my Christian ways

We would lift our voices to give the lord his praise

Singing holy rock of ages only you can set me free

Fill me with your glory  give me life eternally

 (Fill)

There will come a time when he calls the faithful home

Breaks our earthly bonds of life and leads us to the throne    

 Chorus:

Watch me fly Watch me fly

When Jesus lifts me up into the sky

Watch me fly Watch me fly

When Jesus lifts me up into the sky

 Verse 2:

Every Sunday rain or shine we would all come through the door

Hymn books in our laps we'd bow our heads and wait for more  

Preacher John Lee was a powerful man he stood about six foot four

He had a voice that boomed like thunder, I swear it nearly shook the floor

 Chorus:

Watch me fly Watch me fly

When Jesus lifts me up into the sky

Watch me fly Watch me fly

When Jesus lifts me up into the sky

Ride:

 Verse 3:

The room got deathly still as John Lee bowed his head in prayer

Calling on the power that would lift him from his chair   

He would stalk the floor like a lion in a cage with the good book in his hand

The holy ghost would fill the room as he called out the name of the lamb

 Chorus:

Watch me fly Watch me fly

When Jesus lifts me up into the sky

Watch me fly Watch me fly

When Jesus lifts me up into the sky
