Rise Up, My Child

Fallen child of God, bound by ropes of shame-
Unable to find peace, unable to seek My name.
Fallen child of God, held back by deep regret-
Unable to accept My freedom, unable to forget.

Rise up, My child, and see the love I have for you.
Let Me set you free - it’s what I died to do.
Rise up, My child, and know you’re perfect and forgiven in My sight.
Rise up, My child - your life was always worth Mine.

Fallen child of God, rising from your chains-
Knowing you’ve been bought, knowing you must change.
Fallen child of God, emerging from your sin-
Knowing I’ve forgiven every trace within.

Rise up, My child, and see the love I have for you.
Let Me set you free - it’s what I died to do.
Rise up, My child, and know you’re perfect and forgiven in My sight.
Rise up, My child - your life was always worth Mine.
Your life, was always worth Mine…

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I’m found; was blind, but now I see.

Rise up, My child…
