[Verse 1]
Woke up to a morning light, Lord shining through my fear,
Every shadow in my heart is fading as You draw near.
Through the storms and endless nights, I find my way to You,
A melody of hope and grace, You make the skies anew.
[Pre-Chorus]
I lift my hands, I lift my voice — Emmanuel, my King,
In every sorrow, every joy, Your praises I will sing.
[Chorus]
Lead: We rise beyond the horizon, Lord, where hope and mercy meet
Choir: We rise! (We rise!)
Lead: With every heartbeat, every breath, Your love lifts me to my feet
Choir: Your love lifts me! (Your love lifts me!)
Lead: This vibrant fire inside won't fade, it's burning bright and true
Choir: It's burning bright and true!
Lead: In this unforgettable moment, Lord, I am alive in You
Choir: Alive in You!

[Verse 2]
Echoes of the past, they whisper, but they cannot define,
The strength You placed inside my soul, a freedom so divine.
Falling, rising, learning how to spread my wings and fly,
By the blood, the grace, the promise — You restore my hopeful eyes.
[Pre-Chorus]
I will declare, I will testify: You are my firm foundation,
Through every trial and every tear, You bring my soul salvation.
[Chorus]
Lead: We rise beyond the horizon, Lord, where hope and mercy meet
Choir: We rise! (We rise!)
Lead: With every heartbeat, every breath, Your love lifts me to my feet
Choir: Your love lifts me! (Your love lifts me!)
Lead: This vibrant fire inside won't fade, it's burning bright and true
Choir: It's burning bright and true!
Lead: In this unforgettable moment, Lord, I am alive in You
Choir: Alive in You!
