Vineyard Worship has released "We Lift You Up," a deeply moving live worship song that traces its origins to the vibrant, Spirit-led life of Vineyard Church of Central Illinois. The song captures a moment of authentic worship shaped by reverence for the cross and a tangible move of the Holy Spirit within a local congregation.
Written by Kyle Howard, worship pastor at Vineyard Church of Central Illinois, alongside members of his home church worship team, We Lift You Up emerged organically from the rhythms of weekly worship. The song was formed in a space marked by prayer, reflection, and awe at the sacrifice of Christ-long before it reached a wider audience.
What began in a local church setting was later carried into the national life of the Vineyard movement. The song was recorded live at the Vineyard USA National Conferences, with Kyle Howard's home worship team leading much of the recording and co-producing the moment together. The result is a raw and reverent snapshot of what God is doing in one local church, now shared with the broader Vineyard family and the global Church.
Lyrically, We Lift You Up invites listeners to place themselves among the crowd at the crucifixion-to behold the wounds, the suffering, and the weight of the cross, while also encountering the unshakable holiness of Jesus. The song reflects on the profound truth that the Son of God willingly left glory, endured humiliation and death, and bore the weight of sin in order to restore humanity to intimacy, freedom, and hope with God.
Captured in the unified sound of live worship, We Lift You Up stands as both a testimony of God's work in a local congregation and a call for believers everywhere to remember, revere, and lift high the name of Jesus.
"We Lift You Up" is available now on all major streaming platforms.
