Rise
Rise: Conquering Mountains of Faith and Resilience
Lyrics
I saw a mountain, just past the field
I observed a mountain just beyond the field
Where I was runnin' and runnin' and runnin' so free
While I was running freely, I encountered this mountain
Great walls of granite, more solid than steel
Describing the mountain as having solid and imposing walls, more robust than steel
I thought to myself, there's no getting over this hill
I realized it's a formidable obstacle that seems insurmountable
Mmm, the winds they change
Indicating a change in circumstances or perspective
I can hear, you in the distance
Hearing a distant voice, possibly a divine presence
You say child, of, mine
The distant voice addressing the singer as a child
Rise
An urging to rise, to overcome challenges
I started climbin', just me and some rope
Beginning the ascent with only a rope
No lookin' down now we've got one way to go
Committing to the climb with no turning back
My fingers are bloodied, down to the bone
Experiencing physical strain and injury, reaching a breaking point
And my body's shakin' and I'm losin' hold
Struggling to maintain control and grip
Mmm, the winds they change
Noting another shift in circumstances or emotions
I can hear, you call to me again
Hearing the distant voice calling again
You say child, of, mine
The voice affirming the singer as a cherished child
Rise, Rise
A repeated urging to rise, emphasizing the importance
I'm near the peak, so close I can feel
Approaching the summit but facing challenges
But the air's thinning out now and I'm barely breathin'
Feeling the difficulty as conditions become tougher
I'm losing vision, as the sun's going down
Encountering obstacles and losing clarity or purpose
I'm giving up, won't someone carry me now
Expressing a sense of giving up and seeking help
Mmm, the winds they change
Noting another change in circumstances or emotions
I can hear, your voice so perfect
Hearing the voice more clearly, described as perfect
You say child, of, mine
The voice affirming the singer as a beloved child
Rise, rise, rise
A repeated and intensified urging to rise
The planets feel closer, the stars seem aligned
Feeling a sense of cosmic alignment and promise
The promise is better than what I'm leavin' behind
Believing in a better future than the past
I'm in the refuge, of your Holy Hand
Finding refuge in a divine presence
And Here at the top of this rock I will stand
Standing firm at the summit, symbolizing achievement
Mmm, the winds calm to a still
Noting a calming of external challenges
Face to face, I feel your love so real
Experiencing a profound connection and feeling genuine love
You say child, of, mine
The voice again affirming the singer as a cherished child
