"...we have a Savior and a God that has defeated death, and we have victory over it as well in Him... He has made us alive, and even though all of us one day will say good-bye to our earthly bodies, we will rise when He calls our name. I love the passage in Revelation 4 and 5 where you see the angels and all the creatures gathered 'round the throne of God in celebration, singing in a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb." That's what I am pointing to in this song–that we will join those angels, and we will  stand before the throne of our God and our risen Savior alive forever! Amen!" –Chris Tomlin


I Will Rise
Written by Chris Tomlin, Louie Giglio, Jesse Reeves, and Matt Maher

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

I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' 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"
