I Will Rise
Chris Tomlin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 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

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"

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"

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

SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST

“For a mere moment I have forsaken you,
But with great mercies I will gather you.
With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;
But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”
Says the Lord, your Redeemer.

“For this is like the waters of Noah to Me;
For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
For the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

“O you afflicted one,
Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems,
And lay your foundations with sapphires.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.
All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
And great shall be the peace of your children.
In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.

“Behold, I have created the blacksmith
Who blows the coals in the fire,
Who brings forth an instrument for his work;
And I have created the spoiler to destroy.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord."

~ Isaiah 54:7-17

That’s good news. I have a question regarding when you were a Muslim. What made you change your views? I often have hard times trying to explain to Muslims about Christ and him being the lord and savior of all of gods children.

Sharon Tomajko

@IShowSkillz Mary is a human. What matters is to obey and follow God and Jesus, and honor Him in how you live with help from His Holy Spirit. God alone is God!

They played this at my grandpa’s funeral 🥲 but he is in a much better place now. He is standing face to face with Jesus and giving him a huge hug

I can't believe how this song comes to me now at this time of my life. I do love HIM so . I have fallen so many times and HE still watches over me and guides me through all my worries and turmoil. I rise every time. I can't and won't ever deny HIS power in my life. I am just so sorry I am not strong all the time. He has never forsaken me. I will forever be HIS. Thank you JESUS. I will rise ! Thank you Chris for your inspiration.

Proverbs 24:16 says "FOR THOUGH A RIGHTEOUS MAN MAY FALL SEVEN TIMES, HE STILL GETS UP." Standing up the eighth time is symbolic in that Biblically the number 8 means a new beginning. God bless you...keep standing.

​​@D. Martinez- Rodriguez It's so funny that this is something I've been struggling with recently. I fall and feel like there's no point in trying again because I know I'll only fall again. Twice this week I've seen that verse and I know it's because I was supposed to.
