I’ve had this song on my heart for days now. I’m wondering how many of my blog readers understand the significance of the scripture that this song is based on? //
Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. – Romans 6:8-11
When you read that scripture, does your heart sigh with relief and the spirit of a song rise in your heart?
If not, then there is yet more revelation in these words for you! Make this song your confession and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth of it to you.
Beneath the Waters (I Will Rise)
(from the Cornerstone (Live)
This is my revelation
Christ Jesus crucified
Salvation through repentance
At the cross on which He died
Now hear my absolution
Forgiveness for my sin
And I sink beneath the waters
That Christ was buried in
[Chorus]
I will rise, I will rise
As Christ was raised to life
Now in Him, now in Him
I live
I stand a new creation
Baptized in blood and fire
No fear of condemnation
By faith I’m justified
[Chorus]
I will rise, I will rise
As Christ was raised to life
Now in Him, now in Him
I live
[x2]
I rise as You are risen
Declare Your rule and reign
My life confess Your Lordship
And glorify Your Name
Your Word it stands eternal
Your Kingdom knows no end
Your praise goes on forever
An on and on again
No power can stand against You
No curse assault Your throne
No one can steal Your glory
For it is Yours alone
I stand to sing Your praises
I stand to testify
For I was dead in my sin
[Chorus]
But now I rise, I will rise
As Christ was raised to life
Now in Him, now in Him
I live
I will rise, I will rise
As Christ was raised to life
Now in Him, now in Him
I live
[x2]
