Rise
“Rise” Lyrics
There’s a brokenness inside you
There’s a wound that still reminds you
Of your hurt, shame, fear, and rejection
You have seen it yeah, you seen it
You know it’s time to get up
You’re heart’s paralyzed, you’re so stuck
You’re past the point of trying’
You’re defeated, defeated
Something inside, you can’t deny, you hear the cry of your creator
I made you for more, I’ve unlocked the door, I wanna restore (it’s time to restore) your glory
So Rise
Breaking the darkness, piercing the night
We’re made to Shine
An army of hope bringing the world
A radiant light
A radiant light
You were made to Rise
Lift your head and look around you
The dreams you lost have finally found you
And the heart that once stopped beating
Is coming back to life, coming back to life
Shut the door on yesterday
Leave what happened in the grave
You were made to rise
Creations waiting for the day
The Kings and Queens will take their place
We were made to rise
Very encouraging thank you for sharing your heart. I pray that it encourages others to draw closer to God.
