When the Light Comes Home

I've been walking through the valley

Carrying my share of rain

Every prayer I whispered softly

Was a seed beneath the pain

The nights were long, the road was empty

And my heart was learning how

To hold on to a little faith

Even when I couldn't see it now

But I will rise, I will rise

Through the tears and through the ache

With a song upon my breath

And the mercy me that You make

I will rise, I will rise

Though the sorrow held me low

There's a light beyond the shadows

And it's calling me back home

There were days I almost let go

Days I wore my doubt like skin

But Your grace came close and found me

Where the broken things begin

Like a river under winter

Like a fire beneath the snow

Something deep in me kept saying

Don't give up on hope

But I will rise, I will rise

Through the tears and through the ache

With a song upon my breath

And the mercy that You make

I will rise, I will rise

Though the sorrow held me low

There's a light beyond the shadows

And it's calling me back home

Now the ground starts changing under me

And the dark begins to part

Hear the cello turn to sunrise

Hear the healing in my heart

I will rise, I will rise

With my hands lifted up

Every wound is turning worship

Every fear is saying goodbye

I will rise, I will rise

In the promise I can hold

When the key change lifts my spirit

I am stronger than I know

Calling me back home

Calling me back home
