Music
And Now I Rise
I have lived within the darkness
Known the emptiness of night
Felt the sting of bitter cold
The wounds of endless fights
But now I've found there's more within me
Than any sorrow of this life
For my spirit has found heaven
And I'm reaching for the light
CHORUS
And now I rise, and now I live
Above the pain, beyond the fear
For God has shown me to the light of the possible
So now I see, that I am free
Chorus
And now I fly, yes now I soar
There are no chains to tie me down
I stand on higher ground
For now I live, and now I grow
For now I rise
I have traveled to the bottom
The pit of my despair
Found a strong a loving God
A force beyond compare
And now I'm lifted so much higher
Than any power of the night
I am caught up in God's fire
And I'm living in God's light.
(chorus)
There's nothing that has ever been or will ever be.
That has any power over you
When you're down on bended knee.
Turn your focus to the Spirit
And away from worldly things
And know the God that is within you
Gives your heart and soul their wings.
(chorus)
