Rising ©2003 by Daniel Epp/ASCAP
Dedicated to the memory of the victims,
heroes and survivors of 9/11

Darkness will fall
And your tears may last for the night
Just remember through it all
Your joy is gonna come back in the morning light

There is no power
That can come against a heart
That's been filled up with his love
His wondrous love

(chorus 1) You can tear a tower down
It can tumble to the ground
But our spirit will be rising
They can come against our faith
But you can't take that away
No, our spirit will be rising
Rising up
It will be rising
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Sorrow will come
Just as sure as the storms bring the rain
I know blue skies will shine
And once again we'll watch the seasons change

And in a world where nothing stays the same
His promise will remain
It will remain

(chorus 2) You can tear a tower down
It can tumble to the ground
But our spirit will be rising
They can come against our faith
But you can't take that away
No, our spirit will be rising
Rising up like an eagle in the sky
Rising up
Rising up so high

(bridge) And as we greet the breaking of a brand new dawn
I know the truth will keep marching
Marching on
(repeat chorus 2)

We will be rising, rising
We will be rising, rising, rising
We will be rising
