The Williams Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Higher than I′ve ever been before
Lord, I want to go higher
Higher than I've ever been before
I pray
I stay in the holy way
Thank you Jesus
Oh Lord
Now Lord hear my hum-hum-humble cry
This what I tell Him
Dear Jesus, please Jesus
Don't ever pass me by
Oh
Lord, I want to go higher
Higher than I've ever been before
I humble myself before You
I know, I know, that You will see me through
Now Lord, hear my hum-hum-humble cry
Dear Jesus, please Jesus
Don′t ever pass me by
When you get all by yourself, just tell God these words. HEY!
Lord, I want to go higher
(I′ve been down too long, too long, too long)
Higher than I've ever been before
Yes take me higher
Take me higher
Take me higher
Oh hallelujah! Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah!
Lord! Lord!
Lord please take me higher
Take me higher
Take me higher
Take me higher
Lord please take me higher
The lyrics of the Williams Sisters' song "Take Me Higher" express a longing to deepen one's relationship with God and to become more spiritually elevated than ever before. The repetition of the lines "Lord, I want to go higher, higher than I've ever been before" reflects the urgency of this desire. The singer acknowledges that her own actions may not be enough to achieve this goal and therefore implores God to "see her through" and "never pass her by." The choice to repeat "humble cry" and "please Jesus" emphasizes the singer's reliance on God's mercy and grace.
Overall, "Take Me Higher" conveys the understanding that spiritual growth is a process that requires ongoing effort and divine assistance. Through the lyrics, the Williams Sisters encourage listeners to actively pursue a deeper connection with God and to trust that, with faith and humility, they can indeed be taken higher. This sentiment is echoed in the refrain's repetition of the words "hallelujah" and "thank you Jesus."
