Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
From the darkest night to the breaking dawn,
I felt the hush before a new song was born.
Cold ash on my hands, then I tasted rain—
sweet mercy falling, washing out the pain.
[Pre-Chorus / Call]
Lead: Can you feel it? (can you feel it?)
Choir: We feel it rising! (we feel it rising!)
Lead: A little spark becomes a flame—
Choir: And we shout His name.
[Chorus 1]
Rise, oh rise, in His light we stand,
From ashes springs a river wide across this land.
He holds our hearts in His mighty hand—
My shadows turned to morning’s flame; we lift His name.
(Choir response: Rise! We rise!)
[Verse 2]
I walked through alleys where the cold wind moaned,
Saw lantern windows flicker, heard a mother's groan.
He sent a whisper like an open door—
Bread for the hungry, song for the poor.
[Pre-Chorus / Call]
Lead: Hear the promise? (hear the promise?)
Choir: We will not be afraid! (no, we will not be afraid!)
Lead (syncopated): Where hope was thin, He breathes again—
Choir: Life from the grave.
[Chorus 2 - Lifted]
Rise, oh rise, in His light we stand,
He set a banner over us, by His faithful hand.
Joy like rivers, peace like the sea—
Rise with me: we stand redeemed, free eternally.
(Choir response: Rise! We rise redeemed!)
[Instrumental Break]
Organ/piano riff — 8 bars (syncopated gospel groove)
Lead scat/syncopated ad-libs over choir "ah"s — 8 bars
[Bridge - Personal Testimony / Scripture Image]
Lead (soft, then building): I was carrying stones of doubt — He turned them into stepping stones.
He said, "Behold, I make a way where there was no road," and the wilderness became a road.
(Choir: He made a way!)
Lead (rising key, urgent): From the weight of every sorrow, from the prison of the night,
He writes my name upon His hands and calls me by the light.
(Choir call-and-response: Lead: Glory! / Choir: Glory! Lead: Hallelujah! / Choir: Hallelujah!)
[Chorus 3 - Climactic]
Rise, oh rise, in His light we stand,
He lifts our tired hands, He builds us with His plan.
From ashes springs a river wide—come, drink, be satisfied.
We rise together now: redeemed, restored, alive.
(Choir tag: Glory, glory, glory! Hallelujah!)
[Outro - Tag / Communal Blessing]
Lead: Rise, never alone—
Choir: Rise, we have a home!
Lead: Forever praise, forever sing—
All: Glory to our Savior, our King. (Amen)
(End on sustained organ/piano chord with choir "ah"s and a final joyful ad-lib — 4 bars)
