i will rise

as chris tomlin's song rings true in many hearts, it's one that fights to escape from mine. rediscovering his amazing grace isn't as dignified as i remembered it... it's messy but at least it's real. he is my crutch, my one and only real thing i can lean on. especially now and a rising hope - for forever.

chris tomlin's "i will rise"
there's a peace i've come to know
though my heart and flesh may fail
there's an anchor for my soul
i can say, it is well

jesus has overcome
and the grave is overwhelmed
the victory is won
he is risen from the dead

and i will rise
when he calls my name
no more sorrow, no more pain
i will rise, on eagle's wings
before my god
fall on my knees,
and rise...
i will rise

there's a day that's drawing near
when this darkness breaks to light
and the shadows disappear
and my faith shall be my eyes

and i hear the voice of many angels sing
worthy is the lamb!
and i hear the cry of every longing heart
worthy is the lamb!
