Life Lessons

At least four days this week I have woken up with the Spirit singing to my spirit:

And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise"

At first, I didn't know what it was or where I had heard it... then I realized that I had been listening to MP's latest CD so it must be on it...sure enough, "I Will Rise" was track 8.... not one that I even focused on....You know, it's one of those songs you have to get past to get to the one you really want to listen to ...  When I woke up to the song again this morning I decided to find all the words:

'I Will Rise' - Chris Thomlin

There's a peace I've come to know

Though my heart and flesh may fail

There's an anchor for my soul

I can say 'It is well'

Jesus has overcome

And the grave is overwhelmed

The victory is won

He is risen from the dead

[Chorus:]

And I will rise when He calls my name

No more sorrow, no more pain

I will rise on eagles' wings

Before my God fall on my knees

And rise

I will rise

There's a day that's drawing near

When this darkness breaks to light

And the shadows disappear

And my faith shall be my eyes

Jesus has overcome

And the grave is overwhelmed

The victory is won

He is risen from the dead

[Chorus:]

And I will rise when He calls my name

No more sorrow, no more pain

I will rise on eagles' wings

Before my God fall on my knees

And rise

I will rise

And I hear the voice of many angels sing,

'Worthy is the Lamb'

And I hear the cry of every longing heart,

'Worthy is the Lamb'

[x2]

[Chorus:]

And I will rise when He calls my name

No more sorrow, no more pain

I will rise on eagles' wings

Before my God fall on my knees

And rise

I will rise"
