ON OUR KNEES, WE RISE

Intro (low 808 / heartbeat)
Yeah…
This ain’t hype—this is history
Listen close

⸻

Hook (Big / Chantable)
On our knees, we rise (rise)
By Your strength, not our pride (nah)
If God’s for us, who can stand in our way?
We don’t lose—we survive

On our knees, we rise (rise)
Victory sealed, testify
“More than conquerors” written on our lives
We don’t lose—we survive

(Romans 8:37)

⸻

Verse 1 (Aggressive / Clear)
They said fold when the pressure hit
Said faith weak when the night got thick
But the Word stay sharp like a two-edged blade
I don’t fight flesh, nah, I fight with faith

Walking valleys with a table spread
Enemies watching me get fed
“Though I walk through the shadow, I fear no evil”
That’s Psalm 23 in my head

Tried silence, tried shame, tried fear
But “God didn’t give us that spirit” here
Power, love, sound mind when it’s dark
That’s 2 Timothy clear

⸻

Pre-Hook (Build)
We been tested, we been tried
Still standing—look alive

⸻

Hook
On our knees, we rise (rise)
By Your strength, not our pride
If God’s for us, who can stand in our way?
We don’t lose—we survive

On our knees, we rise (rise)
Victory sealed, testify
“More than conquerors” written on our lives
We don’t lose—we survive

⸻

Verse 2 (Switch Flow / Melodic)
I remember nights I was questioning truth
Asking God if He still breaking through
He said, “Be still,” so I learned how to wait
Now patience got fruit

Every tear that fell, He counted that
Every prayer I whispered, Heaven tracked
“Those who sow in tears reap joy”
Psalm 126—He promised that

Now the bass hit heavy but my soul stay light
Joy of the Lord, yeah, that’s my might
Nehemiah 8:10 when the world feel cold
I don’t bend—I ignite

⸻

Bridge (Beat Drops / PRAYER )
God…
I ain’t perfect, I’m just present
I ain’t strong, I’m just desperate
You said knock and the door gon’ open
So I’m here—no weapon

You said “Ask and you shall receive”
So I’m asking You to guard my peace
Cover my family, guard my steps
Keep my heart when the pressure increase

If You never fail, don’t start now
If You still deliver, show out now
I don’t want the crown without the cross
Teach me how to bow now

⸻

Bridge (Scripture Declarations)
“No weapon formed against us shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17)
“We overcome by the blood and our testimony” (Revelation 12:11)
“The battle is the Lord’s” (1 Samuel 17:47)
So we stand—unshaken

⸻

Final Hook (Full Drop / Victory)
On our knees, we rise (rise)
By Your strength, not our pride
If God’s for us, who can stand in our way?
We don’t lose—we survive

On our knees, we rise (rise)
Hands up high, testify
Written victory, sealed by Christ
We don’t lose—we survive

⸻

Outro (Fade / Ad-libs)
Yeah…
Faith over fear
Prayer over pressure
Victory already written
