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.

But like many Windows tablets of that era, its success depended entirely on one thing: . The Driver Puzzle When you first unboxed a W3-810, it ran Windows 8 (later upgradeable to 8.1). The experience felt surprisingly complete — until you tried to update the OS or, years later, install Windows 10. That’s when the driver hunt began.

It’s a reminder that drivers aren’t just software. They’re the forgotten contract between hardware and operating system — and when that contract breaks, even a once-$379 tablet becomes a digital paperweight.

In the spring of 2013, Acer made a bold bet: it would squeeze a full version of Windows 8 into an 8.1-inch tablet. The result was the , a device that tech critics called “ambitious but flawed” — yet for a small group of users, it was a uniquely portable Windows slate.
