Clumsy me...

I forgot--I also wanted to post these lyrics and the link to the song. It's by a girl I knew in high school, though not very well. I have found it particularly inspiring as of late, and I thought it worth sharing. I've loved this song since it first appeared on Amanda's Myspace. I made a transcript of the lyrics, cuz the ones on the myspace page are incomplete.


When You Rise
by Amanda DuFord

Can I tell you you're amazing, as you stand through suffering
Clinging to the Father when all other hope is gone
Can I see you lift your head up, raise your hands, surrender all
Your remedies forgotten, self-inflicted lies no more

An heir to the Kingdom
In victory you stand
Loved by your Maker

Do you know, how much you're worth?
Do you know, the lives you will touch?
When you fall, it's okay to cry
But when you rise,
He's mighty at your side


Do you know you hold the power, of the One who raised the dead?
When strongholds keep you binded, He'll destroy them all instead
Do you realize He knows you, and He makes no mistakes
The future He holds for you, He already knows your days

An heir to the Kingdom
In victory you stand
And loved by your Maker

And do you know, how much you're worth?
Do you know, the lives you will touch?
And when you fall, it's okay to cry
But when you rise,
He's mighty at your side

And there is joy for the hopeless,
Grace for the fallen,
And peace for the fearful,
And a love that overwhelms

There is joy for the hopeless,
Grace for the fallen,
And peace for the fearful,
And a love that overwhelms

And do you know, how much you're worth?
Do you know, the lives you will touch?
And when you fall, it's okay to cry
But when you rise,
He's mighty at your side

Do you know?
Ohhh, when you rise
And when you fall
It's okay to cry
But when you rise He's mighty at your side

(Harmonizing)
Do you know/An heir to the kingdom
In victory you stand/Do you know
Loved by your Maker
Loved by your Maker/When you rise
When you rise
When you rise
