Rise

[tonyg]

We’ve all been down
Knocked to the ground
Dazed and confused

Criticized, chastised,
Demoralized
In everything we do

Don’t give in
To all the spin
Directed at you

Now is the time
A time to remind
Time to pull through

Rise - go on your way
Your faith has healed you
Rise - to a better day
It’s time to start anew

We long for brighter days
Seek to change our ways
Rights that went wrong

There’s a better way
Today is the day
Life becomes a song

Rise - go on your way
Your faith has healed you
Rise - to a better day
The power is in you

Rise - and sing a song
Strength is in your hands
Rise - and sing along
Fulfill the Lord’s plans

We’ve all been down
Time to turn it around
Rise - live the good news
