Still We Rise

Still We Rise

Intro:
Hey nana… yeah, they thought we would stay down—but still we rise.

Verse 1:
Hey… can you hear me now?
When you fall, get back up, shake it off, and just move on.
Don’t know if you feel me now…
I say, can you hear me now?
When you fall, rise again, lift your chest, and just move on.

Pre-Chorus:
I know it’s not easy… still move on.
I know it feels lonely… you’re not alone.
Even in the dark night… He’s holding you on.
Even when you can’t see it… His love is still strong.

Exhortation:
When the wind drags the storm your way,
Don’t forget—the Lord is by your side.
And when the whispers say He doesn’t care,
Stand firm—He is Light, He is Truth, He is the Way.

Chorus:
Higher, higher, higher we will rise,
Messiah, our Healer—by His love we rise.

Lower, lower, low, all our burdens lie,
Messiah, our Healer—His love makes us rise.

Verse 2:
The night may seem long, but soon will break the dawn,
Lay your burdens before the Lord, bring every care before His throne.
He will turn your weakness strong, as we hold on for the dawn,
Lay your burdens before the Lord, let your worries all be gone. Pre-Chorus +Chorus
