Be Lifted High by Bethel Music

Be Lifted High is the second live album by Bethel Music, recorded across worship services at Bethel Church in Redding, California, and released in 2011. It captures songs as they grew inside one congregation, not staged for a tour. The title sets the aim, to lift God high above the noise of a life. I was drawn to its homemade warmth and its lack of polish for its own sake.

Why listen?

The sound is open, spacious worship, full of room and patience. The lead voices, among them Jenn Johnson and Jeremy Riddle, keep things plain and felt. The production holds the live feel close, the people always near. There is a slow path through the record from looking up toward letting go. It is unhurried music that rewards a still mind.

Favourite song: One Thing Remains

A gentle, repeating song about love that never gives up, sung until it sinks in. It is the quiet heart of the album.

And Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
And Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me
And Your love never fails, it never gives up
It never runs out on me

The way the line returns, soft and sure, lets the truth of it settle rather than shout. It reminds me of a familiar path walked many times, where the comfort lies in knowing each turn. The song does not chase a peak; it stays low and steady, and that steadiness is its gift.

Key takeaway

Be Lifted High is a warm, unhurried worship record for quiet rooms and open hearts. A gentle recommendation.
