Rise

Rise
When a heart is heavy
The pain you cannot bear
Lift your eyes
I am there

Rise
When you feel all is gone
You feel desolation
Lift your eyes
It has only begun

Rise
When the tears you shed
Tore you apart
Lift your eyes
Look at me instead

Rise
When you feel angry
In a world of hateful things
Lift your eyes
Feel my tranquillity

Rise
When it is death you mourn
In your grief
Lift your eyes
You are reborn

Rise
When your heart is filled with joy
The beauty you can see
Lift your eyes
It is only me

Rise
For the love inside
Those loving ways
Lift your eyes
I cannot be denied

Rise
For, I made you
In my image
Lift your eyes
I have always loved you
