RISE!

"Let your light shine for all to see for the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you" (Isaiah 60:1)

Father, Father

It is you we seek

Into our hearts

Your Spirit speaks

Waves of healing

Around us rolls

Glory alive

In our souls

Joy unspeakable

takes our hand

With Jesus we rise

With Jesus we stand

Child of sorrow

Sorrow no more

Jesus has opened

Heaven's door

Children unwanted

Rejected and scorned

You called to them

and made them your own

Child of sorrow

Sorrow no more

Jesus has opened

Heaven's door

Joy unspeakable

takes our hand

With Jesus we rise

with Jesus we stand

Child of sorrow

Sorrow no more

Jesus has opened

Heaven's door
