Rise on the River

Woke up with the sunrise breaking through my doubt

Troubles try to hold me down, but I’m shaking them out

Bare feet on the hardwood, thunder in my soul

Every step a testimony, every scar makes me whole

I got fire in my spirit, hope in my bones

Marching down this road unbroken, never alone

I rise on the river, let it wash me clean

Shout hallelujah through the storm unseen

Raise my hands up higher, let the choir sing

Soul’s on fire and my heart’s got wings

I rise on the river, let the freedom ring

Chains tried to claim me, but faith never cracks

Battled through the midnight, I ain’t looking back

Old fears behind me, mercy on the run

Glory’s in the morning, and the race ain’t done

I got fire in my spirit, hope in my bones

Marching down this road unbroken, never alone

I rise on the river, let it wash me clean

Shout hallelujah through the storm unseen

Raise my hands up higher, let the choir sing

Soul’s on fire and my heart’s got wings

I rise on the river, let the freedom ring

Feel the gospel shaking my feet, praising on the street

Every pain and struggle, turning into heat

Voices rising, lighting candles in the dark

Spirit moving, setting fire to my heart

I rise on the river, let it wash me clean

Shout hallelujah through the storm unseen

Raise my hands up higher, let the choir sing

Soul’s on fire and my heart’s got wings

I rise on the river, let the freedom ringLet the river lead me home

I am rising, I am strong

Rising up where I belong
