If I gave you my blessing, bid you goodnight
Something is holding me down
Once I was baptized, that was alright
Now if I just can be found
Living for Jesus, day after day
Nobody quite that strong
Blessed a**urances is one thing to know
And another to sing in a song
Well, the family possessions pa**ed on to me
No longer fit in my hand
Once I was saved, that one was free
I'd been pleased to know just where I stand
Living for Jesus, making it pay
Well, I know God lives quite that long
Once I was baptized, now I am free
To sing you a new gospel song
Singing higher, higher, higher
Singing higher, higher, higher
Singing higher, higher, higher, higher
