steadfast rising

When the road turns hard beneath my feet

And the night takes more than it should take I hear a

quiet voice in the silence

Telling me which promises to make

I have bent, but I won't break

I have lost, but I still wake

With a light I did not make

Calling me back home

I will hold to what is true

When the storm comes breaking through

With my heart and hands wide open

I will walk the road with You

Every scar and every mile

Cannot take away Your light I will rise with faith beside me

And keep my soul alive

There are names I carry in the quiet

There are tears that never make a sound

But the love that shaped me still is steady

And the ground is waiting to be found

I have feared, but I move on

I have mourned, but love lives strong

When I cannot see beyond I trust the next step

Not every answer comes like thunder

Not every victory looks like gold Sometimes courage is a whisper

Saying, keep going, don't let go

I will hold to what is true When the storm comes breaking

through

With my heart and hands wide open

I will walk the road with You

Every scar and every mile Cannot take away Your light I will

rise with faith beside me

And keep my soul alive

Still I rise, still I believe Still I walk,

still I receive With Your light ahead of me

I am more than what

I've seen

(still I rise)
