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.

: Start with a 30-day trial of CData or Devart. Connect it to Excel or Power BI Desktop. Build one dashboard for daily sales and inventory. Then decide if the convenience justifies the license cost—for most businesses with more than 100 orders/day, it absolutely does. Have you used a Shopify ODBC driver in production?

Shopify has become the go-to e-commerce platform for millions of businesses. However, one of its biggest challenges is data isolation—your sales, customer, and inventory data live inside Shopify, but your analytical tools (Power BI, Tableau, Excel) and custom reporting databases live elsewhere. The solution? A Shopify ODBC Driver . What Is an ODBC Driver? ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is a standard API developed by Microsoft for accessing database management systems (DBMS). An ODBC driver acts as a translator between an application (like Excel or Tableau) and a data source (like Shopify).

A specifically allows any ODBC-compliant application to connect to Shopify’s REST or GraphQL Admin APIs as if it were a traditional SQL database. You can run SELECT queries on orders, products, customers, and transactions without writing API integration code. Why Use a Shopify ODBC Driver? | Challenge without ODBC | Solution with ODBC | |------------------------|--------------------| | Manual CSV exports daily | Live or scheduled data refresh | | Custom API scripting in Python/PHP | Standard SQL queries | | Difficulty connecting to BI tools | Direct tool integration via ODBC DSN | | No real-time inventory analytics | Real-time dashboards |
