Rise Up - Dirt Poor Robins

Do you give orders to the dawn?

Can you bring forth the way of light?

(Or go to where the dark resides?)

Can you replace a single star?

(Or from it’s skies can you divide?)

Did you create the eyes that give you sight?

And though you feel like

You are slain by fires you’ve come through

Your hope should stay upon

The One whose blood has bought and paid for you

Do you give birth to freeze and frost?

When all is white with fallen snow

(And the waters turn to stone)

Can you command the heaven’s rain to overflowing

And then with one hand

Be made still the thunder’s undertoning?

Rise up on wings like eagles

All those who call upon His name

Will run and not grow weary

We will walk and never grow faint

Rise up there’s strength to follow

Rise up, He’s calling us to go

The sea’s a teardrop in His hand

The earth is dust within His grasp

(That passes through the hourglass)

Though you may feel you are alone, left disregarded

You’re in the flock of He

Who shepherds lost and broken hearted

Rise up on wings like eagles

All those who call upon His name

Will run and not grow weary

We will walk and never grow faint

Rise up there’s strength to follow

Rise up, He’s calling us to go

And though we struggle

With the fear of doom impending

We know our future holds

A happy ever after ending

Rise up on wings like eagles

All those who call upon His name

Will run and not grow weary

We will walk and never grow faint

Rise up there’s strength to follow

Rise up, He’s calling us to go, calling us to go
