I Will Rise

When I had heard that my Great-Grandma was not looking good, this was one of the first songs I heard on the radio. I think that these lyrics and the song are just so fitting and beautiful. They are a comfort to family and friends during this time of great loss. When I hear this song, I think of my grandma singing praises with the angels....no more sorrow....no more pain...

I Will Rise

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soulI 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 riseI 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
