See the dawn of a new day
Rising up, rising up
Hope is on the horizon
Don’t give up, don’t give up
Though your strength may fail
He never will, He never will
Though your feet may fall
He never will, He never will
Forever faithful,
Our God has with us
We have a reason to sing
Lifted on high
You have bought us to life
We’re running in the light again
We Celebrate, It’s a new day
Light is breaking the darkness
Lift your eyes, lift your eyes
It’s time to rise from the shadows
Into life, we come alive
Love has made a way
To believe again, believe again
Hope has won the day
We celebrate, we celebrate
Awake my soul know that Christ is near
We will see the Son of God appear
