Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Danny Gokey has released his new single, Rise. An inspiring ballad encouraging anyone to have faith in God’s power to help us transcend whatever difficult season we’re in, Rise is a home run in every chapter of the book: brilliant lyrics, beautiful melody, passionate vocals, spotless production. Gokey has earned several accolades for himself in CCM since making the shift from pop to country to CCM, and, if Rise is any indication, it looks like he’ll be around for a long period of time to come.
RISE Lyrics
Danny Gokey
There’s a brokenness inside of you
There’s a wound that still reminds you
Of the fear, shame and rejection
You have seen it, you have seen it
You know it’s time to get up
But your heart’s paralyzed, you’re so stuck
You’re past the point of trying again
You’re defeated, you’re defeated
But something inside you can’t deny
You hear the call of your Creator
I made you for more, unlocked the door
I wanna restore your Glory
So Rise
Breaking the dark, piercing the night
You’re made to shine
An army of hope, bringing the world
A radiant light, a radiant light
You were made to rise
Rise
Lift your head and look around you
See the dreams you lost, they’ve found you
And the heart that once was beating
Coming back to life, coming back to life
But something inside you can’t deny
You hear the call of your Creator
I made you for more, unlocked the door
I wanna restore your Glory
So Rise
Breaking the dark, piercing the night
You’re made to shine
An army of hope, bringing the world
A radiant light, a radiant light
You were made to rise
Rise
Shut the door on yesterday
Leave what happened in the grave
You were made to rise
You were made to shine
Creation’s longing for the day
For kings and queens to take their place
You were made to rise
You were made to shine
But something inside you can’t deny
You hear the call of your Creator
I made you for more, unlocked the door
I wanna restore your Glory
So Rise
Breaking the dark, piercing the night
You’re made to shine
An army of hope, bringing the world
A radiant light, a radiant light
You were made to rise
Rise
