Empty tanks and bare feet in the dust - then a soft call that puts strength back under tired steps. Love that keeps moving when our own steps fall.

[Verse 1]
I was running on empty
Bare feet in the dust
My hands felt heavy
My heart lost trust
Then I heard it calling
Soft but clear
There's strength for the waiting
Right here
[Pre-Chorus]
So I lift my eyes
Past the ache, past the miles
I'm not done yet
I can still run awhile
Your love keeps moving
When my own steps fall
You hold me up
[Chorus]
I will rise
I will rise
Like wings on the wind
I will rise
I will rise
I'm not giving in
When I'm weak
You make me strong
I keep going on
I will rise
[Verse 2]
Day after day
You steady my pace
You give tired knees
A brand new grace
Even the long road
Can't bury my song
I've been held this long
I'll keep holding on
[Pre-Chorus]
So I lift my eyes
Past the ache, past the miles
I'm not done yet
I can still run awhile
Your love keeps moving
When my own steps fall
You hold me up
[Chorus]
I will rise
I will rise
Like wings on the wind
I will rise
I will rise
I'm not giving in
When I'm weak
You make me strong
I keep going on
I will rise
[Bridge]
Wait on the Lord
He won't let go
Hope wakes again
When the night runs low
I'll run and not grow weary
I'll walk and not fall
You carry the weary
You carry us all
[Chorus]
I will rise
I will rise
Like wings on the wind
I will rise
I will rise
I'm not giving in
When I'm weak
You make me strong
I keep going on
I will rise
