Chris Tomlin's song 'I Will Rise' is a declaration of hope and victory in the face of death and suffering. It speaks of a peace that anchors the soul even when the body fails, and looks forward to the day when believers will rise to meet God, free from sorrow and pain. The lyrics affirm Jesus' resurrection as the basis for this hope, and envision a scene of heavenly worship where angels and longing hearts declare the Lamb worthy. The song draws on themes of resurrection, eternal life, and the comfort of knowing that death is overcome through Christ.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus:]
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"
[x2]
[Chorus:]
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
