Lyrics
Description
(Verse 1)
In the darkest night when the thunder wouldn't cease,
I held the cross by my bedside, whispered for peace.
Waves swallowed my plans, I couldn't find the shore,
Then a gentle knock on my heart — I met You once more.
(Pre-Chorus)
From the hush a voice like dawn cut through the gray,
You called my name, the shadows stepped away.
(Chorus 1)
Lifted by grace — I rise like dawn,
Freed from the night, my chains undone.
With every breath I praise Your name,
Forever changed, forever reclaimed.
(Verse 2)
Storm-torn coat, pockets full of yesterday's blame,
You took the bitter, handed me bread and holy flame.
A broken chain lay quiet on the floor,
I tasted mercy’s salt and I could breathe once more.
(Pre-Chorus)
A steady hand, a light that met my eyes,
You pulled me up from where my courage died.
(Chorus 2)
Lifted by grace — I rise like dawn,
Now I stand with courage, the past is gone.
With every breath I praise Your name,
Walking in light, I’ll never be the same.
(Bridge — Call & Response)
Leader: Who turned my night into morning?
Choir: He turned our night into morning!
Leader: Who steadied my step when the ground gave way?
Choir: The Lord is my rock, He leads the day!
Leader: When I was drowning in the storm and cold,
Choir: His hands held tight — He would not let me go!
(Organ / Hand-Clap Break)
(Organ swells; hand-claps on 2 & 4; call-and-response repeats under the swell)
Leader: Lifted! Choir: Lifted by grace!
Leader: Saved! Choir: Saved by His name!
(Key change — modulate up, choir builds)
(Final Chorus — Key Change)
Lifted by grace — I rise like dawn,
I'm free! I'm singing — my fears are gone.
With every breath I praise Your name,
Now I walk in light, forever I proclaim.
(Outro — Choir Tag / Ad Lib)
Leader: Lifted by grace! Choir: Lifted by grace!
Leader: I rise like dawn! Choir: I rise like dawn!
(Choir ad-libs: Hallelujah — we lift Him higher)
Leader: He lifted me! Choir: He lifted me!
(Spoken/Soft Tag)
At the bedside, a whispered prayer: You found me, You saved me, and I will sing.
(Final Choir Hold)
Lifted by grace — lifted by grace — lifted by grace (repeat, fade with organ)
Hallelujah! Amen.
Lifted by Grace, I Rise
