[Hear my heart, not my words]

Maybe I will rise, I will rise
From my failures and past mistakes
Only I fall back down again
I fall back down again

-V1-
Tryin’ to outrun ‘em memories but I can’t keep up this pace
Somehow, I lost sight of you, in everything I do
I’m not likely to wave a white flag, give up, or retreat
More like I’m stuck in the same place
Then I escape when it becomes too hard to breathe
Like a stranger, I vanish in the wind
I’m gone, look, you missed me again
I might see you in a week, or two
It’s really hard to tell when I’ll come back to you
I’ll get by on my own, I’ll facе this alone
Doubts creepin' in, can’t find my worth again
At the lowest lows it’s a strugglе to make it through
Did you miss me? ‘Cause I missed you
What else can I say?
Enjoy it while it lasts ‘cause you never know when I might just slip away, again
But I’m here today, but I’m here today

-C-
You see my struggle, I need you
I can’t face this alone
I can’t get by on my own
O Lord, please help me rise
In you I will rise, I will rise
From my failures and past mistakes
In you I will rise, I will rise
Because of your mercy and your grace
Give and take
Better together
You got me, I got you
Together we will rise
Please help me back up again
V2
Your love keeps on chasing me, it can’t be outran
It kept callin’, darin’ me to leap and take that chance
But only when I really started watchin’ and listenin’
Could a dynamic shift begin from what was a dark and twisted fate
Movin’ forward reminded me of your grace
I was searchin' for connection to a life I had lost
Circiln’ me back to where I’d been before, when salvation saved the day
Hear me knockin', once again, on that golden door
I can see the truth, the courage I once knew
Back to the two dreamers who stepped out in love and faith together
Meet me somewhere back in the middle, before I lost my way
Won’t hide my anxiety and depression anymore
There’s no erasin’ the trauma or the memories
So take my weakness, it Yours
And use it for good to glorify Your name
‘Cause to me You say, to me You say

-C-
I see your struggle, you need Me
You can’t face this alone
You can’t get by on your own
I’m Lord, I will help you rise
In Me you will rise, you will rise
From your failures and past mistakes
In Me you will rise, you will rise
Because of my mercy and my grace
Give and take
Better together
You got Me, I got you
Together we will rise
Holdin’ on to Me, so you don’t fall again

V3
Do you need a reset or a change?
Trust me, I know how it feels to lose your way
There’s a path through all this darkness
You must boldly face it, with your eyes and ears open
Look a little closer, do you see what now I see? Hear what now I hear?
If you change your perspective, it can truly change you
Just be aware ‘cause you spot the Savior everywhere
Only listen and see the good, and throw the rest away
He is alive in this world today, it’s true, please try to comprehend
Jesus gave it all to save you and calls out to you every day
You only have to know how to listen and see
No matter what you goin’ through
Only He can set you free
You can start over like millions of us in the world who, have been there
And after all that we have gone through
We’re here to say, we’re here to say

-C-
We see your struggle
You are not alone
You can’t do this on your own, only God can save youd
If you trust in Him, He will help you rise

We’ll light up the night, walk with the stars
Let Him shine, show the world just who You are
That’s what this is all about
We hear you, we see you
We’re all better together
You got us, we got you
Together we will rise
Never lose hope
You now know the truth

The sun never goes down
The Son never goes down

I love you!
Love
Kate
