Rise above



I will rise above.
I will flow with the Holy Spirit.
I hear the Lord.
I choose the blessings.  

The wicked have caused pain.
I will not hide.
I hear the Lord’s bidding.
I will stand witness.

My Lord will not forsake me.
Wicked people you will not win.
Pride is your demise.

The children have cried out.
Seek the Lord in prayer.
Stand up and rise.  
Keep the faith.
Do not despair.

The Lord is my refuge.
The Lord will protect
The Lord is my compass.
The Lord will lead, guide and direct.
