I Will Rise

I remember way back

When the Lord come up

on resurrection morn,

All the graves were opened

and the saints began to rise;

There's a promise for today

That the dead in Christ

are gonna come up first,

And together we'll take

our mansion in the sky.

I will rise

for my everlasting prize,

There's a resurrection promise

in my eyes;

At the dawn, I believe that

I'll be good as gone,

It will come as no surprise,

I know that I will rise.

There are scoffers all around

That say that everything's

just the same,

And the promise

they will laugh and criticize;

But one day they'll see that

gravity's gonna lose its hold on me,

They don't realize

everything in Christ will rise.
