Raise My Voice

Sunday morning light cuts through my shame

Choir’s singing mercy but I won’t play that game

I’ve carried every stone, I’ve barked at every chain

This time my spirit’s roaring louder than my pain

Steel in my veins, fire in my soul

Won’t bow to anybody, I’m taking control

Raise my voice above the choir

Let ‘em feel my holy fire

Swingin’ hard on every line

This is my rebel sign

I'm done with walking on that wire

Raise my voice, let the freedom inspire

They told me to repent, they preached at my skin

But I’m dancing in defiance—no shame for my sin

Your judgments can’t restrain the way my soul ignites

Riffs and rage, I’ll turn my anger into light

Steel in my veins, fire in my soul

Won’t bow to anybody, I’m taking control

Raise my voice above the choir

Let ‘em feel my holy fire

Swingin’ hard on every line

This is my rebel sign

I'm done with walking on that wire

Raise my voice, let the freedom inspire

Hands raised high, no apology left

I’m reclaiming my blessing, draw power with every breath

Your spotlight’s glare only sharpens my view

If you say I’m damned, I’ll show you something true

Raise my voice above the choir

Let ‘em feel my holy fire

Swingin’ hard on every line

This is my rebel sign

I'm done with walking on that wire

Raise my voice, let the freedom inspireLeave those chains in the dust behind

All I’ve got now is my voice and my mind
