When my life was a day, when my life was deadThe pain was taking over and I wanted life to endIt's time to say goodbye for goodThen one day God showed me, gave me a reason to liveShowed me there was hope, in the love he givesRise!Rise and hold your head up highStand!Stand you wise childWe've been in balance for too longStand the vice up, let him be strongWe'll leave the past behindLet him move onRise!My God is a shield around meAnd he is a lifter around my headSeems he's trying to cut me downBut my God has no chanceAnd my God, no wickedness is foundAnd so, Satan I enter into the stomachSeeking out to destroyMy God's the snare upon himselfLet her ignore and mournRise!Rise and hold your head up highStand!Stand you wise childWe've been in balance for too longStand the vice up, let him be strongWe'll leave the past behindLet him move onRise!Rise!For this man keeps his faith defiantAnd his one finger isn't strongWe shall have him to re-examineWe are the children of GodAgainst our willSo much freedomWe are the light at the end of the tunnelA beacon to all who seekWe shall have victory so soonSay victory!Rise!Rise and hold your head up highStand!Stand you wise childWe've been in balance for too longStand the vice up, let him be strongWe'll leave the past behindLet him move onRise!Jesus Christ
