This has been one of my favorite songs for years. I contacted Rick back in 2002 about collaborating, partly because I had sung this song so many times. The recording is from Rick's Praise Classics 2 CD. - Elton, September 12, 2009


Lyrics

Lord, I lift Your name on high.
Lord, I love to sing Your praises.
I'm so glad You're in my life;
I'm so glad You came to save us.

You came from Heaven to earth
To show the way.
From the Earth to the cross,
My debt to pay.
From the cross to the grave,
From the grave to the sky;
Lord, I lift Your name on high.

Lord, I lift Your name on high.
Lord, I love to sing Your praises.
I'm so glad You're in my life;
I'm so glad You came to save us.

You came from Heaven to earth
To show the way.
From the Earth to the cross,
My debt to pay.
From the cross to the grave,
From the grave to the sky;
Lord, I lift Your name on high.

You came from Heaven to earth
To show the way.
From the Earth to the cross,
My debt to pay.
From the cross to the grave,
From the grave to the sky;
Lord, I lift Your name on high.

You came from Heaven to earth
To show the way.
From the Earth to the cross,
My debt to pay.
From the cross to the grave,
From the grave to the sky;
Lord, I lift Your name on high.

The term "Majnun" refers to the tragic figure from the famous Middle Eastern love story. In musical contexts, "Zil Sesi" refers to high-pitched, resonant tones that symbolize Majnun’s intense suffering and emotional peak.

You may be thinking of contemporary tracks like "Majnun Nabudum" (e.g., versions by Elsen Pro & Furkan Demir ), which blend these traditional themes with modern electronic or deep house beats.

This is a poetic line or concept often used in Azerbaijani Mugham, a traditional folk musical composition. Specifically, "Majnun Nabdu" refers to a specific section or melodic movement within the Chahargah or Leyli and Majnun mughams.
