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
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
Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead
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 ev’ry longing heart
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
I will rise
I will rise
