Rise Lyrics - Crucified

when my life was empty 

when my life was dead 

the pain was taking over 

and i wanted life to end 

"it's time...to say... 

goodbye...for good..." 

then one day God showed me 

gave me a reason to live 

showed me there was hope 

in the love he gives 

rise - rise and hold your head up high 

stand - stand you are his child 

we've been in bondage for too long 

it's time to rise up, in him be strong 

we'll leave the past behind 

in him move on 

rise 

my God is a shield about me 

and he is the lifter of my head 

satan tries to cut me down 

my God always protects 

in my God...no wickedness... 

is found...and so 

satan night and day tries to stop me 

seeking out to destroy 

my God turns his snares upon himself 

rendering null and void 

don't despair keep the faith 

keep fighting, in his word be courageous and strong 

we shall have victory for it's written 

and we are the children of God 

the gates of hell shall not prevail 

there's a light at the end of the tunnel 

a beacon to all who seek 

we shall have victory so soon 

soon taste victory
