(Verse 1)
Underneath the velvet night, the piano strikes a sacred chord,
Each note a whispered prayer, a call that lifts and soars.
Drums roll like thunder’s blessing, grand and bold, they pave the way,
Strings swell with hope eternal, guiding through the gray.
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, hear the gospel choir, lifting voices high and free,
Their harmonies like rivers, washing over me.
In every soulful crescendo, a fire begins to glow,
A spirit unbreakable, ready now to grow.
(Chorus)
I will rise in glory, wrapped in heaven’s light,
Through storms and trials, I’m anchored in the fight.
My voice, a flame of power, soaring ever higher,
With every high note held, I’m lifted by the choir.
(Verse 2)
The piano’s keys, a heartbeat, steady, strong, and true,
Drums like mighty footsteps, marching me through and through.
Strings weave a tapestry of triumph, bold and wide,
The choir’s sacred echoes, a sanctuary inside.
(Pre-Chorus)
Lifted by gospel melodies, my soul begins to fly,
With every vocal run and melisma reaching to the sky.
This song of hope and healing, a hymn of light and grace,
In every soaring moment, I find my sacred place.
(Chorus)
I will rise in glory, wrapped in heaven’s light,
Through storms and trials, I’m anchored in the fight.
My voice, a flame of power, soaring ever higher,
With every high note held, I’m lifted by the choir.
(Bridge - Vocal Runs with intense melisma and sustained high notes)
Ohhhh — lift me up, Lord, on wings of endless love,
I’m rising, I’m shining, like the stars above.
Every note a prayer, every breath a sacred vow,
In Your light, in Your grace, I stand here now.
(Chorus - Full choir, strings, grand drums)
I will rise in glory, wrapped in heaven’s light,
Through storms and trials, I’m anchored in the fight.
My voice, a flame of power, soaring ever higher,
With every high note held, I’m lifted by the choir.
(Outro)
In the echoes of grace, I find my way,
In the light of hope, I rise today...
