I Will Rise

I go through phases when something will just be on repeat over and over and over in my head. A line that resonates trough out my heart and soul. And sometimes it's a Bible verse, sometimes it's a line from a sermon, and sometimes it's something from a worship song.

All I've had the last few days is "And I will rise when He calls my name. No more sorrow, no more pain". And it's funny, because it took me a few days to place the line. It even had a tune and everything to it. I thought maybe I'd had a musical moment and just thought of an amazing song! But no, Chris Tomlin beat me to it. :)

There's just something about this song. I get this image in my head of people all over the world, going through their daily lives. Getting coffee, sitting in class, in a meeting for work, talking on the phone.. And then God just calls their name.. "John." "Karen." "Sam." And with no hesitation, and nothing more needing to be said.. They just rise and go. I get goosebumps when I think about it.

When it's God calling you, why wait? Go. Run!

I Will Rise - Chris Tomlin

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 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

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

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"
