[Intro]
You called my name through the dust
I came awake, I came alive
[Verse 1]
I had a pocket full of doubt, keys to a locked door
Ran every mile from the truth, still wanted something more
You met me where the asphalt broke, no thunder in the sky
Put a pulse beneath my ribs and taught these lungs to rise
I’ve been counted out, crossed off, left outside the frame
Now I walk in with my shoulders back, I’m not ashamed
Every scar has got a story, every loss became a sign
What the world called finished, You kept breathing life
[Pre-Chorus]
Lift the weight, lift the weight
Let the buried voices wake
Hands up high, hearts aligned
We are standing in the light
[Chant]
Who holds us? You hold us!
Who calls us? You call us!
No fear, no fear
We are here, we are here!
[Chorus]
We rise, we rise, we rise in Your name
Fire in our bones, nothing stays the same
Hallelujah, louder than the night
We are not alone, we are made alive
We rise, we rise, with a thousand voices
Every broken heart has a reason to rejoice
Hallelujah, let the whole room sing
You are still our God, You are still our King
[Verse 2 - Rap]
Look, I came from the back row, head low, hands cold
Now I’m ten toes planted where the brave go
No gold chain, no stage light, no applause needed
You gave me breath when my best plans depleted
I was running from the mirror, from the mess, from the memory
You were steady in the silence, never once forgetting me
Now the tempo in my heartbeat got a battle-cry cadence
Grace hit hard, made a way through the places
Tell the fear move back, tell the shame fall flat
Tell the doubt it can’t build where the promise is at
I’ve got receipts in the scars, got a song in the wreckage
Got a God who turns the pressure into power and presence
If I stumble, I get up, if I’m wounded, I heal
If the road gets steep, I remember what’s real
No retreat, no disguise, no surrender tonight
I was dead in the dark, now I’m walking in light
[Pre-Chorus]
Lift the weight, lift the weight
Let the buried voices wake
Hands up high, hearts aligned
We are standing in the light
[Chant]
Who holds us? You hold us!
Who calls us? You call us!
No fear, no fear
We are here, we are here!
[Chorus]
We rise, we rise, we rise in Your name
Fire in our bones, nothing stays the same
Hallelujah, louder than the night
We are not alone, we are made alive
We rise, we rise, with a thousand voices
Every broken heart has a reason to rejoice
Hallelujah, let the whole room sing
You are still our God, You are still our King
[Bridge]
Even when the ground gives way
Even when I lose my strength
You remain, You remain
You remain, You remain
[Gang Chant]
Not abandoned!
Not defeated!
Still forgiven!
Still believing!
Not abandoned!
Not defeated!
Still forgiven!
Still believing!
[Final Chorus]
We rise, we rise, we rise in Your name
Fire in our bones, nothing stays the same
Hallelujah, louder than the night
We are not alone, we are made alive
We rise, we rise, let the walls surrender
Every voice together, every heart remember
Hallelujah, let the whole room sing
You are still our God, You are still our King
[Outro]
You remain, You remain
We rise in Your name
