Lyrics

There’s a (Am7)peace I’ve come to know,

though my (C)heart and flesh may fail.

There’s an (Am7)an chor for my soul.

I can say,

“It is well.”

Je sus has o ver come,

and the grave is o ver whelmed.

The (C)vic to ry is won;

He is (Am7)ris en from the dead.

And I will rise

when He calls my name;

no more sor row, no more pain.

I will rise

on ea gles’ wings, be fore my God fall on my knees, and rise.

I will rise.

There’s a (Am7)day that’s draw ing near

when this (C)dark ness breaks to light,

and the (Am7)shad ows dis ap pear,

and my faith shall be my eyes.

Je sus has o ver come,

and the grave is o ver whelmed.

The (C)vic to ry is won;

He is (Am7)ris en from (G)the dead.

And I will rise

when He calls my name;

no more sor row, no more pain.

I will rise

on ea gles’ wings, be fore my God fall on my knees, and rise.

I will rise.

And I hear the voice of man y an gels sing,

“Wor thy is the Lamb!”

And I hear the cry of ev ’ry long ing heart,

“Wor thy is the Lamb!”

And I hear the voice of man y an gels sing,

“Wor thy is the Lamb!”

And I hear the cry of ev ’ry long ing heart,

“Wor thy is the Lamb!”

And I hear the voice ing heart,

“Wor thy is the Lamb!

Wor thy is the Lamb!”

I will rise

when He calls my name;

no more sor row, no more pain.

I will rise

on ea gles’ wings, be fore my God fall on my knees, and rise.

I will rise.

I will rise.
