  • There's a peace I've come to know
    Though my heart and flesh may fail
    There's an anchor for my soul
    I can say "It is well"

    Jesus has overcome
    And the grave is overwhelmed
    The victory is won
    He is risen from the dead

    And I will rise when He calls my name
    No more sorrow, no more pain
    I will rise on eagles' wings
    Before my God fall on my knees
    And rise
    I will rise

    There's a day that's drawing near
    When this darkness breaks to light
    And the shadows disappear
    And my faith shall be my eyes

    Jesus has overcome
    And the grave is overwhelmed
    The victory is won
    He is risen from the dead

    And I will rise when He calls my name
    No more sorrow, no more pain
    I will rise on eagles' wings
    Before my God fall on my knees
    And rise
    I will rise

    And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
    "Worthy is the Lamb"
    And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
    "Worthy is the Lamb"

    And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
    "Worthy is the Lamb"
    And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
    "Worthy is the Lamb"

    And I will rise when He calls my name
    No more sorrow, no more pain
    I will rise on eagles' wings
    Before my God fall on my knees
    And rise
    I will rise Writer/s: CHRIS TOMLIN, JESSE REEVES, LOUIE GIGLIO, MATT MAHER

  • Holly from New JerseyBless you for this song, Chris. In the past month, I’ve lost my daughter and one of my best friends to cancer, and my heart is hurting. Your music is bringing me comfort.
  • Larry from Largo, FloridaChris, this song is one of your most powerful. I sang it at both my wife's and brother's funeral. Thanks for your inspiration. Blessings!
  • Amy from MissouriThank you Chris for writing and producing this. I have sang this for a lady in her 40's dying of cancer stage 4. She died after I sang that and it is really touching that she heard that at her last Church service. Also, tomorrow I sing I will rise at my Grandmothers funeral. Thank you! God bless!
  • Andrea from Purvis, MsThis song is wonderful, I had an Uncle pass away in December and I thank of him every time I hear it. I love it
