RISE!

Sometimes it just takes the right words, backed up with alot of love to inspire...

 

Open the door and let me in

I say!

You won’t hold me down or lock me out

Oh no, not today!

You can’t put out my light or sink

My Spirit!

I refuse to bow down, I rise and sing

Can you hear it?

The tiptoeing is done right here

Right now!

In His Glory I will rise and shine bright

 Oh, and how!

Like the Phoenix who rose

Rebirthed and Reborn

I will rejoice and dance

To hell with your scorn!

Standing inside holding

Me out

You think you can win but I say

Watch out!

I am coming to claim what’s mine

Wait and see

He gave to me a gift and asked in return

That I RISE

And be all that He made me to be!
