I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Bonus: Lift Him Up, That's All (chorus only)
I lost a day somewhere over my 42-hour transit from Montreal back to Bangkok, so I'm posting a Ben Doerr bonus right now as, well, a bonus.

Chords (chorus only): F - - - / F - - - / F - - B / F C F -
Here are the full lyrics, slightly corrected, from this page:
When Jesus was around here on this land
He certainly did do his Father's command
Because He knew that He was his Father's only son
He came to draw men unto Him
Oh lift Him up that's all
Lift Him up in His word
If you'll tell the Name of Jesus everywhere
If you'll keep His Name a ringing everywhere that you go
He will draw men unto Him
When Jesus met the woman at Jacob's well
He certainly did have a sweet message to tell
The woman commenced wondering because she seen He was a Jew
He came to draw men unto Him
Oh lift Him up that's all
Lift Him up in His word
If you'll tell the Name of Jesus everywhere
If you'll keep His Name a ringing everywhere that you go
He will draw men unto Him
When she learnt that it was Jesus she ran into the town
Saying come and see a man who told me all that I had done
Is this not the messenger which is called Christ?
He came to draw men unto Him
Oh lift Him up that's all
Lift Him up in His word
If you'll tell the Name of Jesus everywhere
If you'll keep His Name a ringing everywhere that you go
He will draw men unto Him
When He asked her for some water her sin she tried to hide
She commenced telling the Savior all about race pride
But woman if you just only knew the gift of God
I came to draw men unto me
Oh lift Him up that's all
Lift Him up in His Word
If you'll tell the Name of Jesus everywhere
If you'll keep his Name a ringing everywhere that you go
He will draw men unto Him
