He Deserves

[Intro: Joe L Bornes]
Is there one person here who's not ashamed of the name of Jesus Christ?
Just as each one of us
He deserves better
He deserves, oh, He deserves better
He deserves, He deserves better, He deserves

[Verse 1: Tedashii]
Do you see His image, see His children?
Did focusing on winning blur your vision?
Post and lose a friend on the other side
If you say I'm wrong, and I say I'm right
Both of us will lose when all we do is fight, yeah
They say they only want Jesus
Except when He trumps Caesar
Hear them cheering for Barabbas
How is He a crowd pleaser?
Well, at least we got Easter
Going down a rabbit trail
But He deserves better
Yeah, He deserves better
Than politics and pride
Yeah, He deserves better
Than us chasing pleasure
Back to back, double header
I want to live His love
So I got to see my faith

[Pre-Chorus: Tedashii]
Live for the one who saves (He deserves better)
This world drives me crazy, I can't let it break me
If you get a new day, don't waste it (He deserves better)

[Chorus: Joe L Barnes]
So come and lift Him up higher, higher
So come and lift Him up higher, higher

[Verse 2: Tedashii]
Hands up for Jesus, okay
Scream from the bleachers, that's me
Now love your neighbor, oh no
Ask God for favor, yes, please
It's all good when it's my way
But I ain't what He is, that’s Yahweh
We all got reasons to say that (He deserves better)
I don't hate say what you say
But my reply stays out the way
All my friends think like me
One bad tweet, and we enemies
Different parties, different page
You could be right if you change
Rather win than walk in His ways
He deserves better than secondhand praise

[Pre-Chorus: Tedashii]
Live for the one who saves (He deserves better)
This world drives me crazy, I can't let it break me
If you get a new day, don't waste it (He deserves better)

[Chorus: Joe L Barnes]
So come and lift Him up higher, higher
So come and lift Him up higher, higher
So come and lift Him up higher, higher
So come and lift Him up higher, higher

[Outro: Joe L Barnes]
So be lifted up
So we lift Him up higher
So be lifted up
Lift Him up higher and higher and higher
So come and lift Him up higher, higher
Oh, You deserve nothing less than our extravagance
Oh, nothing less than our extravagance
We pour it out (oh-oh, ah)
So come and lift Him up higher, higher
