Sanctuary of a Soul on Fire

The morning air is heavy and the sky is turned to gray.

I’ve been carrying this mountain since the middle of the May.

Every step I take is sinking in the red and dusty clay.

But I know a better season is only just a breath away.

Can you feel the spirit moving?

Can you hear the heavens speak?

There’s a power in the promise,

For the weary and the weak.

Rise up, let the glory fall down.

Lift your head and wear your crown.

I’m standing on the rock now.

I’m standing on the rock.

Rise up, let the glory fall down.

Heavy silence makes a joyful sound.

I’m standing on the rock now.

I’m standing on the rock.

I was looking for a sign inside the hollow of a hand.

Trying to build a kingdom on a stretch of shifting sand.

But the mercy washed over like a flood across the land.

Now I finally have the strength to take a final stand.

Rise up, let the glory fall down.

Lift your head and wear your crown.

I’m standing on the rock now.

I’m standing on the rock.

Rise up, let the glory fall down.

Heavy silence makes a joyful sound.

I’m standing on the rock now.

I’m standing on the rock.

Oh, the light is breaking through the dark!

Every word is like a living spark!

Can I get a witness?

Can I get an amen?

It’s a new day!

It’s a brand new day!

Rise up, let the glory fall down.

Lift your head and wear your crown.

I’m standing on the rock now.

I’m standing on the rock.

Rise up, let the glory fall down.

Heavy silence makes a joyful sound.

I’m standing on the rock now.

I’m standing on the rock.I’m standing.

Yes, I’m standing.

On the solid rock I stand.

Hallelujah.

Amen.
