[Verse 1]
I was small in the storm, still held
Dust on my shoes, but my name got spelled
By a Hand that reached through the smoke and rain
Said, "Little one, you were built for flame"
Not the kind that burns you down to ash
The kind that brings the dark to the glass
You are seen when the room turns cold
You are kept when the night gets bold
And every scar that the world once wrote
Turned into gold in the throat of hope
[Pre-Chorus]
Lift up your face
Hear the sound
Love goes deeper
Than the ground
He who Is
He who stays
Calling His children
By their names
[Chorus]
Children of He who Is
Children of Ever Will Be
Rise up now, lift your heads
You were made for eternity
(Children of He who Is)
(Children of Ever Will Be)
Rise up now, lift your heads
You are safe in His dynasty
[Verse 2]
I seen tears hit the floor like seeds
Then a garden rise from the need
Bread on the table, grace in the air
Mercy walking like it lived there
When I had nothing but a crack in my voice
He made a song out of the broken noise
Put a crown on the days I lost
Wrote redemption over every cost
So if the valley asks for my song
I’ll sing the name that has carried me long
[Pre-Chorus]
Lift up your face
Hear the sound
Love goes deeper
Than the ground
He who Is
He who stays
Calling His children
By their names
[Chorus]
Children of He who Is
Children of Ever Will Be
Rise up now, lift your heads
You were made for eternity
(Children of He who Is)
(Children of Ever Will Be)
Rise up now, lift your heads
You are safe in His dynasty
[Bridge]
When the waters came, He was there
When the fire came, He was there
When my heart broke, He was there
Still there
Still here
Still King
Still good
Still singing over us
Still love
Still light
Still home
[Final Chorus]
Children of He who Is
Children of Ever Will Be
Rise up now, lift your heads
You were made for eternity
(Children of He who Is)
(Children of Ever Will Be)
Rise up now, lift your heads
You are safe in His dynasty
Children of He who Is
Children of Ever Will Be
Hope comes up like a mountain now
And it lives in you and me
