when my life was empty
|
when my life was dead
|
the pain was taking over
|
and i wanted life to end
|
"it's time...to say...
|
goodbye...for good..."
|
then one day God showed me
|
gave me a reason to live
|
showed me there was hope
|
in the love he gives
|
|
rise - rise and hold your head up high
|
stand - stand you are his child
|
we've been in bondage for too long
|
it's time to rise up, in him be strong
|
we'll leave the past behind
|
in him move on
|
rise
|
|
my God is a shield about me
|
and he is the lifter of my head
|
satan tries to cut me down
|
my God always protects
|
in my God...no wickedness...
|
is found...and so
|
satan night and day tries to stop me
|
seeking out to destroy
|
my God turns his snares upon himself
|
rendering null and void
|
|
don't despair keep the faith
|
keep fighting, in his word be courageous and strong
|
we shall have victory for it's written
|
and we are the children of God
|
the gates of hell shall not prevail
|
there's a light at the end of the tunnel
|
a beacon to all who seek
|
we shall have victory so soon
|
soon taste victory
|
