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.

The is specific. Why? Because patch 1.01 fixed critical bugs but also broke many existing cheats. The trainer’s creator had to reverse-engineer memory addresses all over again—a cat-and-mouse game between the player and Ubisoft’s (then primitive) anti-tamper measures. What Makes the "Dx11" Suffix Interesting? Most trainers work regardless of graphics API. So why specify Dx11 ? This is the juicy part.

Let’s fly into the why and how of this digital oddity. First, a reminder: Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. 2 (2010) was Ubisoft’s ambitious attempt to bridge arcade dogfighting and realistic flight models. It supported DirectX 11—a big deal at the time, offering tessellation and advanced shading. But the game was notoriously grindy. Unlocking the iconic F-22 Raptor required hours of campaign slog. Enter the trainer.

But if you find the clean copy, you’re holding a piece of PC gaming history—a time when a single user could reverse-engineer a AAA game, share the fix on a forum, and become a legend to a few hundred pilots. The "Hawx 2 Trainer 1.01 Dx11" is more than a cheat. It’s a monument to curiosity, a digital lockpick for a game that tried too hard to hold back its fun. Next time you see a trainer for an old game, don’t just see "hacks." See the ghost in the machine—a player who refused to play by the rules.

In the dusty archives of PC gaming forums, tucked between mods for Skyrim and cracks for Sims 3 , lives a curious little file: Hawx 2 Trainer 1.01 Dx11 . At first glance, it’s just another cheat tool—a few kilobytes of code promising unlimited missiles and invincibility. But for a niche community of flight enthusiasts and reverse engineers, this trainer is a cultural artifact, a time capsule from an era when DirectX 11 was bleeding-edge and "always-online" wasn't yet a curse word.

In a way, the trainer became a developer debug menu, unofficially unlocked. Unlike modern games with kernel-level anti-cheat (looking at you, Valorant ), H.A.W.X. 2 had zero runtime protection. The trainer simply wrote to memory. But there was a catch: Ubisoft’s always-online DRM (even for single-player) occasionally checked for memory integrity. If the trainer changed values mid-flight, the game would desync and crash.

Fly safe, pilot. Or don’t. That’s why you have the trainer.
