Rise Up

Rise up and shine, for your light has come. – Isaiah 60:1

Most ancient myths are based on truth,
springing from the ashes of youth,
where evil takes aim from the start,
but God is the strength of my heart.

I rise up like a bird in flight, 
so my spirit soars in delight,
certain He will never depart,
for God is the strength of my heart.

From death to life in renewal,
emerging like a crown jewel,
well protected and set apart,
for God is the strength of my heart.
