love the driving force to this song. Great energy and I would suspect it works very well in worship.

To echo those comments already posted, this is an awesome song. It is very well written and played out. Honestly I wouldn't change much about it at all, it seems very easy for a congregation to follow and engage in worship with. The only thing that I see that could use a little tweaking is the electric guitar. The distortion sounds kind of hollow and distant. If it was a little bit more driving/denser sound I think it would give the song quite a bit more depth. Other than that little tweak great song.

I like this song and the chorus is easy for congregational worship ... good job!

Crystal, I agree with the others here that this is a really a great song. I appreciate how difficult it is to write an upbeat song. I find they have to be simpler for most worship teams to be able to play them and for congregations to be able to sing them, but still interesting.

My only critique is to find some more lyrics to supplement the chorus. If it was me I would only "High and lifted up and I lift You high" at the beginning of the chorus, write all new lyrics in the middle and finish with "High and lifted up, I'm gonna lift You high."

Very good song.
